Answer 1

To determine the type of transformation applied to triangle ΔABC with vertices A(-5, 4), B(-2, 2), and C(5, -1), we can analyze the transformation by comparing the original triangle's coordinates with the new coordinates after transformation.

However, without the original coordinates of triangle ΔABC, we can't specify the exact transformation. Here are some guidelines on how to identify the transformation:

1. **Translation**: If the triangle has simply moved without changing its orientation or size, it's a translation.

2. **Reflection**: If the triangle has been flipped over a line (like the x-axis or y-axis), it indicates a reflection.

3. **Rotation**: If the triangle has been turned around a specific point, it indicates a rotation.

4. **Composition**: If there are multiple transformations applied (for example, first a rotation and then a translation), it indicates a composition of transformations.

To solve the question correctly, we need the original triangle’s vertices or a description of what transformation changed its position. If that's absent, we can't definitively conclude which transformation has occurred.

Please provide more information about the original triangle's position or the transformation details.
