To determine the combination of transformations involved in moving the shape (a rhombus) from position 1 to position 2 and from position 2 to position 3, we need to consider the properties of the transformations:
- Rotation: Turning the shape around a fixed point.
- Reflection: Flipping the shape over a line.
- Translation: Moving the shape from one place to another without rotating or flipping.
Since the specific visuals are not provided, we can deduce the transformations based on common scenarios with rhombuses.
- If the rhombus is turned or flipped over a line between positions, that indicates reflection.
- If it has been turned around a point, that indicates rotation.
- If it is simply moved without any rotation or flipping, that indicates translation.
Without the specific images, let’s assume the rhombus moves in a manner that suggests first a flip (creating a mirrored version) and then a turn to a different angle.
Given these options:
- Rotation, then reflection: This implies that the rhombus first turns and then flips, which doesn't usually depict moving from one position to another in the context described.
- Reflection, then rotation: This means the rhombus first flips and then turns, a common scenario in moving shapes.
- Reflection, then translation: It would mean flipping and then moving it directly, but no turning involved after.
- Rotation, then translation: Here, the rhombus would turn and then just move straight, again lacking the flipping action.
Based on these considerations:
The most common transformation sequence when moving the rhombus from one position to another is reflection, then rotation.
So, the correct response should be: reflection, then rotation.
