Please Help Medal/Fan Part A: Write the sequence of transformations that changes figure ABCD to figure A'B'C'D'. Explain your answer and write the coordinates of the figure obtained after each transformation. Part B: Are the two figures congruent? Explain your answer.

@ash2326 @Astrophysics @adajiamcneal @AaronAndyson @countrygirl1431 @dan815 @welshfella sorry for the random names but can someone help me?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

The first part is a reflection of ABCD in the x-axis can you see what the second transformation is?

OpenStudy (richgall____):

down 3 units?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

Note that the point A goes form the point (4,4) to (-4,-4)

OpenStudy (welshfella):

no

OpenStudy (welshfella):

how will A go from (-4,-4) to A' ?

OpenStudy (richgall____):

you mean it goes from (-4,4) to (3,-4)

OpenStudy (welshfella):

Yes

OpenStudy (richgall____):

It was flipped

OpenStudy (welshfella):

No

OpenStudy (richgall____):

Actually A went to A' because of a 180 degree turn

OpenStudy (richgall____):

counterclockwise

OpenStudy (welshfella):

No - because the x coordinate would be 4 if that was the case.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

|dw:1444761406981:dw|

OpenStudy (welshfella):

note that A is flipped in the first transformation ( the reflection) but not in the second

OpenStudy (welshfella):

the whole shape keeps its orientation in second transfrmation.

OpenStudy (richgall____):

Yea i see that but point A goes fromt the top to the bottom A'

OpenStudy (welshfella):

not straight away - first it goes to bottom left quadrant then moves to bottom right There are 2 transformations.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

1, reflection 2. another transformation

OpenStudy (richgall____):

so I the reflection then 3 units down? because i have to explain all the steps i did and what were the coordinates for each transformation

OpenStudy (welshfella):

No not down - its moves to the right to get to A'. the 2nd transformation is a translation 7 points to the right.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

form (-4,-4) to (3,-4)
