Math Problem Statement
Solution
To map Figure onto Figure , we can analyze the transformations by comparing the orientation, position, and size of both figures. Here's a step-by-step approach to determine the series of transformations:
-
Reflection:
- First, notice that Figure and Figure are mirror images of each other with respect to the x-axis. This suggests that a reflection over the x-axis is the first transformation.
-
Translation:
- After reflecting, Figure would be below the x-axis, similar to the position of Figure . Next, we observe that Figure must be translated to the right and downward to match the exact position of Figure .
- Specifically, the translation should move the figure 2 units to the right and 4 units down.
Transformation Sequence:
- Reflect Figure over the x-axis.
- Translate the reflected figure 2 units to the right and 4 units down.
These transformations will map Figure onto Figure .
