To determine the sequence of rigid transformations that map quadrilateral ABCD to A"B"C"D", we need to carefully analyze the transformations given and their effects on the coordinate points.

  1. Reflection: The transformation (x,y) → (−x,y) reflects the points across the y-axis. If the original shape ABCD is positioned in the standard orientation, this reflection can invert its x-coordinates.

  2. Translation: After reflection, we may need to adjust the position of the shape. The transformation (x,y) → (x,y−4) translates the shape down by 4 units on the y-axis.

In combination, the transformations can be represented as:

  • First, reflect: (x,y) → (−x,y) (reflection across the y-axis)
  • Then, translate: (−x,y) → (−x,y−4) (translation downward by 4)

Combining these transformations leads us to the final composite transformation mapping:

Composition of Transformations:

  1. Reflect across the y-axis: \( (x,y) \rightarrow (-x,y) \)
  2. Translate downwards: \( (-x,y) \rightarrow (-x,y-4) \)

Thus, the sequence of transformations is:

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

Having analyzed the transformations, if we need to select the correct transformation from your options, the closest fit for this composition would be:

(x,y)→(−x,y−4)

This matches the transformation sequence needed to map ABCD to A"B"C"D".
