Two transformations were performed on Triangle

ABC. The first transformation was a reflection
over the
Y-Axis ? . The second
transformation was a
Translation & ? , The
second transformation was
Right
and Down, ?

What are the missing numbers

1 answer

To complete the descriptions of the transformations applied to Triangle ABC, we need to specify the translation values for the "Right" and "Down" movements after the reflection over the Y-axis.

  1. Reflection over the Y-Axis: This transformation will flip Triangle ABC across the Y-axis. If the original coordinates of the vertices of Triangle ABC are \((x, y)\), after reflection, the new coordinates will be \((-x, y)\).

  2. Translation: This transformation translates the triangle a certain distance right (positive x-direction) and down (negative y-direction). We can represent these movements with values \(a\) and \(b\), where:

    • \(a\) is the distance moved right.
    • \(b\) is the distance moved down.

Therefore, after the translation, the new coordinates will be \((-x + a, y - b)\).

To provide specific numbers for \(a\) and \(b\), we would need the specific values that correspond with the translation that you have in mind. For example, you could say it was "3 units right and 2 units down," which would mean \(a = 3\) and \(b = 2\).

If you have specific values for the translation, please provide those, and I can help you fill in the blanks accurately!
