Trapezoid ABCD is congruent to trapezoid A" B" C" D" . Which sequence of transformations could have been used to transform trapezoid ABCD to produce trapezoid A" B" C" D" ? A. Trapezoid ABCD was translated 7 units up and then 12 units left. B. Trapezoid ABCD was reflected across the x-axis and then across the y-axis. C. Trapezoid ABCD was reflected across the y-axis and then translated 7 units up. D. Trapezoid ABCD was reflected across the y-axis and then across the x-axis.

I think C or D

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Ok, if it were reflected across the x-axis, then the figure would be upside down

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so A? @sleepyjess

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Well, that is for the x-axis, so now it is between A and D. Reflection across the y-axis means it is flipped (not the best drawing again, just pretend the shapes are congruent) |dw:1424365941145:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sleepyjess

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Nope, it can't be reflected across the x-axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so C

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Yep
