Question

Pentagon ABCDE and pentagon A'B'C'D'E' are shown on the coordinate plane below.



Which two transformations are applied to pentagon ABCDE to create A'B'C'D'E'?

translated according to the rule (x, y) → (x + 8, y + 2) and reflected across the y-axis

translated according to the rule (x, y) → (x + 2, y + 8) and reflected across the axis

translated according to the rule (x, y) → (x + 2, y + 8) and reflected across the y-axis

translated according to the rule (x, y) → (x + 8, y + 2) and reflected across the axis

Answer 1

some things are missing in your choices...

Answer 2

like what ? the is exactly what the question says

Answer 3

for example, that last choice says "reflected across the axis" ... what axis?

Answer 4

that is the same question i had . but im not sure thats what the questions says though :/

Answer 5

doesn't really matter though... the one's that are missing info is not any of those..

Answer 6

okay. So can you help me solve for it now?

Answer 7

best way to do this is to try do "undo" the transformations...

Answer 8

try reflecting the image over the y-axis first...

Answer 9

then see what kind of translation will get you from there to the actual pre-image.

Answer 10

did you understand what i just stated?

Answer 11

yes kind of ..

Answer 12

because i cant undo the transformations so i just looked at the other axis i noticed that it moved and the points changed

Answer 13

start from the image (the final picture, the one's with prime notations) and pick a point like D'.... can you give me the coordinates of D'...

Answer 14

D is 1, -3

Answer 15

no, i want D'

Answer 16

8, 4?

Answer 17

just look at the graph... what are the coordinates of D'

Answer 18

D' is 1, 3

Answer 19

yes... now reflect that over the y-axis... what's the coordinates now?
