Identify a sequence of transformations that maps triangle ABC onto triangle A"B"C" in the image below.

Aclockwise 270° rotation; reflection over x-axis
Bcounterclockwise 90° rotation; reduction
Ccounterclockwise 270° rotation; reflection over the y-axis
Denlargement; clockwise 90° rotation


Could someone explain this to me?

Identify a sequence of transformations that maps triangle ABC onto triangle A B C in the image below. A. clockwise 270 rotation; reflection over x-axis B. count class=

Verified Answer :

The A"B"C" is the red triangle.  What happened is it was a 90 degree rotation around the 0, then an enlargement.  The correct answer is D.  

Hope I helped.

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that triangle A"B"C" is the image of triangle ABC after transformation.

From the given figure it is noticed that the point C lies on positive y-axis and point C" lies on negative x-axis.

It means the figure is rotated either counterclockwise 90° or clockwise 270°. The rotation rule is

\((x,y)\rightarrow (-y,x)\)

The corresponding sides of image A"B"C" are smaller than the preimage ABC.  

\(k=\frac{A"B"}{AB}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}<0\)

Since k<0, therefore the transformation shows the reduction. The dilation rule is

\((x,y)\rightarrow (-\frac{1}{2}y,\frac{1}{2}x)\)

\(A(-3,0)\rightarrow (-\frac{1}{2}(0),\frac{1}{2}(-3))\rightarrow (0,-1.5)\)

\(B(3,0)\rightarrow (-\frac{1}{2}(0),\frac{1}{2}(3))\rightarrow (0,1.5)\)

\(C(0,5.2)\rightarrow (-\frac{1}{2}(5.2),\frac{1}{2}(0))\rightarrow (-2.6,0)\)

Option B is correct.
