    4. (0, 3) ▶ View Solution
    5. A′(2,−1), B′(2,−3), C′(5,−2) ▶ View Solution
    6. 90° anticlockwise ▶ View Solution

    2. Reflection over the x-axis ▶ View Solution
    3. 90° clockwise rotation ▶ View Solution
    4. Size (lengths) and shape (angles) ▶ View Solution
    5. Reflection ▶ View Solution
  5. Mixed Coordinate Problems

    1. (5, −3) ▶ View Solution
    2. (−5, −1) ▶ View Solution
    3. (0, 0), (−4, 0), (−2, −3) ▶ View Solution
    4. (3, 1), (6, 1), (4, 4) ▶ View Solution
  6. Transformation Summary and Reasoning

    1. Translation: Yes / No / No  |  Reflection: Yes / Yes / No  |  Rotation: Yes / No / No ▶ View Solution
    2. Use the original triangle to start one section; translate it right to fill a row; reflect it to create a mirrored copy; rotate 180° to fill remaining gaps — the three transformations together tile the rectangle ▶ View Solution
    3. (a, b) — the two rotations cancel out (90° CW then 90° ACW = 0° net rotation) ▶ View Solution
  7. Successive Transformations

    1. A′′ = (5, 2) ▶ View Solution
    2. B′′ = (2, −2) ▶ View Solution
    3. (0, 0), (−3, 0), (0, −4) — orientation is reversed (vertices go in the opposite order) ▶ View Solution
  8. Translation Vectors

    1. Right 5, down 2 ▶ View Solution
    2. Right 3, down 7 ▶ View Solution
    3. Left 3, down 4 ▶ View Solution
  9. Reflection Lines

    1. y-axis ▶ View Solution
    2. y = x ▶ View Solution
    3. x-axis ▶ View Solution
    4. If only x changes sign: y-axis  |  if only y changes sign: x-axis  |  if x and y are swapped: y = x ▶ View Solution
  10. Congruence and Transformations

    1. Same size and shape ▶ View Solution
    2. Yes — all three preserve size and shape (they are isometries) ▶ View Solution
    3. No — congruent shapes can have different orientations (e.g. a reflected image is congruent but flipped) ▶ View Solution
    4. True ▶ View Solution
