Question

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

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Select one:
a. translated according to the rule (x, y) →(x + 8, y + 2) and reflected across the y-axis
b. translated according to the rule (x, y) →(x + 2, y + 8) and reflected across the x-axis
c. translated according to the rule (x, y) →(x + 2, y + 8) and reflected across the y-axis
d. translated according to the rule (x, y) →(x + 8, y + 2) and reflected across the x-axis

Answer 4

Take a look at which axis it was reflected across. You can get rid of two choices right away. :D

Answer 5

its kind-of confusing to find that out because it looks like its in between if you know what i mean

Answer 6

Well, that's because of the translation that happened after. Look at which point corresponds to which point. It's clearly flipped one direction and not the other.

Answer 7

The translation happens before the flip...

Answer 8

Oh, yes. Translated first! But the rest of it is still valid..

Answer 9

True! :)

Answer 10

hmm...

Answer 11

Imagine a little mirror sitting on each axis. Which mirror shows what you get?

If you have a small mirror you could actually even do that.

Answer 12

Take your left hand with your palm pointing to you, and "rotate it over the y-axis" of your forearm so you see the back of your hand; your thumb will be pointing to the right. Just like the little pointy C bit

Answer 13

So we can get rid of B and D
