Question
Use the image to answer the question.

A coordinate plane shows two rectangles A (-4,3) B (-2,4) C (-1,1) D (-3,0) and A double dash (4,-1) B double dash (2,0) C double dash (1,-3) D double dash (3,-4). Both the axes range from negative 5 to 5 in unit increments.

Answer 1

To find the transformation that maps rectangle ABCD to rectangle A"B"C"D", we analyze the coordinates of the rectangles:

1. Rectangle ABCD has vertices:
- A(-4, 3)
- B(-2, 4)
- C(-1, 1)
- D(-3, 0)

2. Rectangle A"B"C"D" has vertices:
- A"(4, -1)
- B"(2, 0)
- C"(1, -3)
- D"(3, -4)

### Step 1: Analyze the transformations
It appears that to transition from ABCD to A"B"C"D", we first need to reflect the coordinates across the origin (which switches the signs of both x and y) and then apply a vertical translation.

### Transformation Process
1. **Reflection across the origin:**
- This changes (x, y) to (-x, -y).

2. **Vertical translation downward:**
- After reflection, we notice the y-coordinates of A"B"C"D" are 4 units lower than the reflected coordinates. Thus, we will then translate down by 4 units, or (x, y) becomes (x, y - 4).

### Combined Transformation
The first transformation is reflecting across the origin:

\[
(x, y) \rightarrow (-x, -y)
\]

Then, translate down by 4 units:

\[
(-x, -y) \rightarrow (-x, -y - 4)
\]

### Final Composition Transformation
Put together, the complete transformation from ABCD to A"B"C"D" can be expressed as:

\[
(x, y) \rightarrow (-x, -y - 4)
\]

### Conclusion
The correct response that corresponds to this transformation is:

\((x,y)→(−x,y−4)\)

In words: Reflecting across the y-axis and then translating down by 4 units.
