Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image shows a question asking for the transformation(s) that map Figure A to Figure A'. Both figures are placed on a coordinate plane, with Figure A centered at (-5, 0) and Figure A' centered at (5, 0).
To determine the correct transformation(s), let's analyze the changes:
-
Reflection Analysis:
- The figures are horizontally aligned, meaning Figure A' is on the right side of the y-axis and Figure A is on the left. This indicates a reflection across the y-axis (Horizontal reflection). Therefore, option E (Horizontal reflection) is correct.
-
Rotation and Other Options:
- The figures have not been rotated, as the orientation of the sides and corners of both figures remains the same. This rules out 90° CW/CCW rotations and 180° rotation.
- No translation has occurred, since a reflection describes the movement across an axis.
Thus, the correct transformation is E) Horizontal (y-axis) reflection.
Would you like further clarification or details on any part of this? Here are some related questions for practice:
- What are the key differences between reflection and rotation?
- How does a reflection across the x-axis affect a figure?
- What happens when you perform a 180° rotation on a point?
- Can a translation ever map a figure across an axis?
- How do you determine whether a transformation is a reflection or a rotation?
Tip: Reflections across the y-axis always reverse the x-coordinates of all points, keeping the y-coordinates the same.
