Which glide reflection describes the mapping ABC to DEF? https://dlap.gradpoint.com/Resz/~yUA6AAAAAAgA42nJ9M7UQA.O3AMxB6kBBqC0wFyhrYX6B/7234256,163/Assets/questions/test/geometry/geocomp/mc120-1.jpg

(x, y) (x + 1, y – 2) and reflected across x = 0 (x, y) (x + 2, y – 1) and reflected across y = −1 (x, y) (x + 1, y – 2) and reflected across y = −1 (x, y) (x + 1, y – 2) and reflected across y = 0
any attempts so far? points A and D correspond to each other so you just need to apply the transformations to point A and see which one gets you to point D
the last one?
that's a good attempt but not quite|dw:1527908682594:dw|
|dw:1527908687377:dw|
first we translate this point (x+1,y-2) as indicated
|dw:1527908755145:dw|
what line do we have to reflect to get that green triangle to DEF?
x?
|dw:1527908829792:dw|
notice how we can reflect across this line to get from the upper triangle to DEF what is the equation of the blue line?
x+1,y-2?
what is the equation of a horizontal line passing through y = -1?
x+2, y-1?
what is the slope of a horizontal line?
0
good, so what is the equation of a line, in y = mx + b form, of a horizontal line passing through y = -1?
if slope = 0 then the value of m is 0. therefore the equation of a horizontal line passing through y = -1 is, simply, y = -1 therefore we must apply the transformation (x + 1, y – 2) and reflect across y = −1 as our solution.
