To determine the transformation from Figure 1 to Figure 2, we need to look at how the figure has changed.
– Translation of 2 units down means the entire shape moves downwards by 2 units.
– Translation of 10 units down means the entire shape moves downwards by 10 units.
– Reflection over the x-axis means the shape flips over the x-axis, which changes the sign of the y-coordinates.
– Reflection over the y-axis means the shape flips over the y-axis, which changes the sign of the x-coordinates.
If Figure 2 is the original figure moved downwards, you would choose one of the translation options. If it’s flipped over an axis, then you would choose the reflection option.
Look closely at the coordinates or key points of both figures to see where they have moved or how they’ve reflected. Based on your analysis, you can choose the correct option.
