Question

Please help! and correct answers please, thank you
The figure below shows two triangles on the coordinate grid:

A coordinate grid is shown from positive 6 to negative 6 on the x axis and from positive 6 to negative 6 on the y axis. A triangle ABC is shown with vertex A on ordered pair 4, 1, vertex B on ordered pair 3, 1, and vertex C on ordered pair 3, 4. Another triangle A prime B prime C prime is shown with vertex A prime on ordered pair negative 4, 4, vertex B prime on ordered pair negative 3, 4, and vertex C prime on ordered pair negative 3, 1.

What set of transformations is performed on triangle ABC to form triangle A′B′C′?

A translation 5 units down, followed by a 180-degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin
A translation 5 units down, followed by a 270-degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin
A 180-degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin, followed by a translation 5 units down
A 270-degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin, followed by a translation 5 units down

Answer 1

I'm just saying, but the fact that the things say negative 4,4 and not (-4,4) is more than likely gonna throw people off.

Answer 2

they do all sorts of confusing pointless stuff to confuse you :/

Answer 3

I'm just used to seeing (-4,4), thats why i said something e.e

Answer 4

so, can you help me

The figure below shows two triangles on the coordinate grid:

A coordinate grid is shown from + 6 to - 6 on the x axis and from + 6 to - 6 on the y axis. A triangle ABC is shown with vertex A on ordered pair (4,1), vertex B on ordered pair (3,1), and vertex C on ordered pair (3,4). Another triangle A prime B prime C prime is shown with vertex A prime on ordered pair (-4,4), vertex B prime on ordered pair (-3,4), and vertex C prime on ordered pair negative (-3,1).

A translation 5 units down, followed by a 270-degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin
A 180-degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin, followed by a translation 5 units down
A 270-degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin, followed by a translation 5 units down

Answer 6

Okay so since the choices all have rotation about the origin, we actually have to shift the original triangle in a more suitable position. This is done by connecting any of the points of A'B'C' to the origin, and extend this line segment.

The most appropriate point is C', and we draw C" such that C'O = OC", and C', O and C" are collinear.

We see that the distance CC'' is 5.
So
Answer is:

"A translation 5 units down, followed by a 180-degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin"
I hope this makes enough sense for you to understand how we can get the answer.
