Math Problem Statement
Solution
In this problem, we need to determine a sequence of transformations that would map Figure P onto Figure Q.
Upon examining the graph, here is a breakdown of the process:
1. Translation:
To align Figure P with Figure Q, we can start by translating Figure P downward. This translation should move the shape vertically to match the position of Figure Q. If we count the vertical distance between a corresponding point on both figures, it appears that Figure P must move down by 10 units (not up as originally mentioned).
2. Rotation:
Once translated, the two figures still do not perfectly align. By observing the orientation, we can see that rotating Figure P by 180° counterclockwise about the origin will make the shapes match.
Correct Transformations:
- Translation: 10 units down.
- Rotation: 180° counterclockwise about the origin.
Final Answer:
The correct sequence of transformations is:
- A translation down 10 units.
- A rotation of 180° counterclockwise about the origin.

- How can you verify if a rotation was performed correctly?
- What other types of transformations could be applied to map two figures?
- Can you achieve the same result by applying transformations in a different order?
Tip: When rotating a figure 180° about the origin, the coordinates of each point become their opposites (i.e., becomes ).
