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.
-
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.
-
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:
- Reflect across the y-axis: \( (x,y) \rightarrow (-x,y) \)
- 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".
