To produce triangle XYZ from triangle ABC, the transformation involved a translation of 2 units to the left and a rotation of 90 degrees clockwise about the point (-4, 0). The two triangles are not congruent, as their corresponding side lengths and angles differ; for example, triangle ABC is a horizontal line while triangle XYZ has distinct vertices forming a vertical line with a different orientation.
