Answer: A translation 5 units down followed by a 180-degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin
.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure, the coordinates of ΔABC are A(-3,4), B(-3,1), C(-2,1) and the coordinates of ΔA'B'C' are A'(3,1), B'(3,4), C'(2,4).

When, a translation of 5 units down is applied to  ΔABC, the coordinates of the image will be

\((x,y)\rightarrow(x,y-5)\\A(-3,4)\rightarrow(-3,-1)\\ B(-3,1)\rightarrow(-3,-4)\\ C(-2,1)\rightarrow(-2,-4)\)

Then applying 180° counterclockwise rotation about the origin, the coordinates of the image will be :-

\((x,y)\rightarrow(-x,-y)\\(-3,-1)\rightarrow(3,1)\\(-3,-4)\rightarrow(3,4)\\(-2,-4)\rightarrow(2,4)\) which are the coordinates of ΔA'B'C'.

Hence, the set of transformations is performed on triangle ABC to form triangle A’B’C’ is " A translation 5 units down followed by a 180-degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin
".
