Given:
Vertices of ABCD are A(-4,4), (-2,2), C(-2,-1) and D(-4,1).
Vertices of A'B'C'D' are A'(3,-4), B'(5,-2), C'(5,1) and D'(3,-1).
To find:
The sequence of transformations that changes figure ABCD to figure A'B'C'D'.
Solution:
Part A:
The figure ABCD reflected across the x-axis, then
Using this rule, we get
Similarly, the other points are .
Then figure translated 7 units right to get A'B'C'D'.
Similarly, the other points are .
Therefore, the figure ABCD reflected across the x-axis and then translated 7 units right to get A'B'C'D'.
Part B:
Reflection and translation are rigid transformation, it means shape and size of figures remains same after reflection and translation.
Therefore, the two figures congruent.
