question

The graph shows rhombuses

and

Which sequence of transformations maps

onto

a rotation

clockwise around the origin followed by a translation left 12 units

a translation left 8 units followed by a reflection across the

-axis

a reflection across the

-axis

followed by a rotation

counterclockwise around the origin

key idea

In a

translation,

every point in a figure moves the same distance and direction.

In a reflection across a line, every point in a figure moves to a point directly on the opposite side of the line. The new point and the original point are the same distance from the line.

In a

rotation,

every point in a figure moves the same angle and direction around a fixed point (or center of rotation).

solution

This sequence of transformations maps

onto

green checkmark, a translation left 8 units followed by a reflection across the -axis

First, translate left 8 units to map it onto . Then, reflect across the -axis to map it onto .

These sequences do not map

onto

red X symbol, a rotation clockwise around the origin followed by a translation left 12 units

First, rotate clockwise around the origin to map it onto . Then, translate left 12 units. This does not map onto .

red X symbol, a reflection across the -axis followed by a rotation counterclockwise around the origin

First, reflect across the -axis to map it onto . Then, rotate counterclockwise around the origin. This does not map onto .
