PLEASE HELP QUICK!! WILL MEDAL!! 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 x-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 y-axis Translated according to the rule (x, y) →(x + 2, y + 8) and reflected across the x-axis

We know from how it's upside down that it was translated across the x-axis. Then just find which set of points would move it to where it gets translated.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Probably should have said reflected instead of translated, whoops

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay yea but it is also on the opposite side of the y axis =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it's D right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, but that doesn't mean it was reflected to get there. You can tell which way it was translated by its shape. And why do you think its D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because it is reflected across the X and it's the right formula =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But it's only moving it over 2 points to the right. D and E wouldn't even make it, so obviously the other points won't. And if it goes up by 8, then it will get graphed over 8 further down. Much further than the reflection.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay then it's B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im watchin trying to fiqure this out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why did you choose B? It reflects across the y-axis.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or I mean A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, yes, A would be your answer. If you want to find out which way would move it over, choose one point and move the x over. if it matches the x of the corresponding point on the reflection, it will be good for a reflection over the x-axis.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay awesomesauce thx =)

lol
