Choose the correct transformations

• rotate 90 degrees counter-clockwise around the origin, and then reflect over the x-axis

• right 1, down 4, and then reflection over the y-axis

• right 6, and then reflection over the x-axis

• reflection over the line y=x, and then translate up 4, right 2

What is the scale factor that you must use to map FROG to F'R'O'G'?

Answer explanation

FROG is the larger figure and the preimage. F'R'O'G' is the smaller figure and the new image. This means the figure was dilated by a value less than 1 in order to get smaller.

The side lengths on F'R'O'G' are all half as long as those of FROG. This means FROG must have been dilated by

$\frac{1}{2}$ (or 0.5)

Choose the statement that accurately describes the relationship between ABCD and EFGH.

• ABCD and EFGH are congruent, but not similar.

• ABCD and EFGH are similar, but not congruent.

• ABCD and EFGH are both congruent and similar.

• ABCD and EFGH are neither congruent, nor similar.

Answer explanation

The figures are similar, because they have congruent corresponding angles and proportional corresponding side lengths.

They are not congruent, because they are not the same size (the corresponding side lengths are not congruent/equal).

What would be the coordinates of the new image after the following sequence of transformations is applied to Point B(3, 2):

• B''(9, -1)

• B''(9, 6)

• B''(9, 3)

• B''(6, 6)

• B''(6, 3)

Answer explanation

B(3, 2):

1. Dilate by a scale factor of 3 from the origin (multiply the coordinates by 3) B'(9,6)

2. Translate 3 units down (subtract 3 from the y-coordinate) B''(9,3)
