Math Problem Statement
Solution
In the given problem, the pre-image is being transformed into the final image . Based on the image and the provided options, we are tasked with identifying the first transformation (either a rotation or reflection) and then a translation.
Observations:
- Pre-image (GHJK) is positioned horizontally, while the final image is vertically oriented.
- Final Image Position: The shape has been rotated and translated.
- Rotation Analysis: The shape has been rotated counterclockwise from its original position. Given the choices, the shape appears to be rotated by 90° counterclockwise around point , as it preserves the relative orientation of points after the rotation.
Translation:
After the rotation, the image needs to be translated to match the position of , which is a translation to the right (as described in the prompt).
Solution:
- The first transformation is a 90° counterclockwise rotation about point .
- The second transformation is a translation to the right.
Would you like further clarification on any step, or additional questions to explore this concept?
Here are five related questions:
- What would happen if we applied a 270° counterclockwise rotation instead?
- How do you determine the center of rotation for any transformation?
- What is the general formula for finding the coordinates of a point after rotation?
- How would this problem change if the translation were to the left instead of the right?
- Can the order of transformations affect the final result? If so, how?
Tip: When dealing with transformations, always visualize how each step (rotation, reflection, translation) alters the position and orientation of the shape.
