Explanation:

Problem 86

Step 1: Analyze Option A

• Check the coordinates of $\triangle EDF$ and $\triangle BAC$. A clockwise rotation about the origin can map $\triangle EDF$ to $\triangle BAC$ (matching side lengths and angles), so this is true.

Step 2: Analyze Option B

• Reflecting $IHGJ$ over the $x$-axis would invert the $y$-coordinates, but $RNPQ$’s position does not match this reflection. So B is false.

Step 3: Analyze Option C

• The line $y = -1.5$ is a horizontal line of reflection. Checking the vertical distance from $IHGJ$’s vertices to $y = -1.5$ and $RNPQ$’s vertices confirms congruence via this reflection. So C is true.

Step 4: Analyze Option D

• A $180^\circ$ rotation about the origin maps $(x,y) \to (-x,-y)$. Applying this to $IHGJ$’s vertices matches $XWZY$’s coordinates, so D is true.

Step 5: Analyze Option E

• Reflecting $\triangle LKM$ over the $y$-axis (mapping $(x,y) \to (-x,y)$) aligns it with $\triangle TSU$, confirming congruence. So E is true.

Problem 87

Step 1: Apply Rotation $(x,y) \to (y, -x)$ to $\triangle ABC$

• For $A(3,1)$: $(1, -3)$
• For $B(4,5)$: $(5, -4)$
• For $C(2,3)$: $(3, -2)$

Step 2: Apply Reflection $(x,y) \to (x,-y)$ to Rotated Points

• $(1, -3) \to (1, 3)$ (incorrect, wait—correction: Wait, original rotation and reflection steps:

Wait, recheck: After rotation $(x,y)\to(y, -x)$:
$A(3,1)\to(1, -3)$; $B(4,5)\to(5, -4)$; $C(2,3)\to(3, -2)$.
Then reflection $(x,y)\to(x, -y)$:
$(1, -3)\to(1, 3)$ (no, $D(-1,-3)$, $E(-5,-4)$, $F(-3,-2)$—wait, maybe sign error. Wait, correct rotation: $(x,y)\to(y, -x)$ is 90° clockwise? Wait, 90° counterclockwise is $(-y, x)$, clockwise is $(y, -x)$.

Wait, let’s compute coordinates:
$\triangle ABC$: $A(3,1)$, $B(4,5)$, $C(2,3)$
$\triangle DEF$: $D(-1,-3)$, $E(-5,-4)$, $F(-3,-2)$

After rotation $(x,y)\to(y, -x)$ (clockwise 90°):
$A(3,1)\to(1, -3)$
$B(4,5)\to(5, -4)$
$C(2,3)\to(3, -2)$

Then reflection $(x,y)\to(x, -y)$:
$(1, -3)\to(1, 3)$ (no, $D$ is $(-1,-3)$—wait, maybe rotation is $(x,y)\to(-y, x)$ (counterclockwise 90°), then reflection? Wait, no—let’s check Option A:

Rotation $(x,y)\to(y, -x)$: $A(3,1)\to(1, -3)$; $B(4,5)\to(5, -4)$; $C(2,3)\to(3, -2)$.
Then reflection $(x,y)\to(x, -y)$: $(1, -3)\to(1, 3)$? No, that’s not $D(-1,-3)$. Wait, maybe I messed up. Wait, $D(-1,-3)$, $E(-5,-4)$, $F(-3,-2)$.

Wait, let’s reverse: Apply rotation $(x,y)\to(y, -x)$ to $\triangle DEF$ to get $\triangle ABC$? No, the option says map $\triangle ABC$ to $\triangle DEF$.

Wait, correct calculation:
After rotation $(x,y)\to(y, -x)$:
$A(3,1)\to(1, -3)$; $B(4,5)\to(5, -4)$; $C(2,3)\to(3, -2)$.
Then reflection $(x,y)\to(x, -y)$:
$(1, -3)\to(1, 3)$ (no). Wait, maybe the rotation is $(x,y)\to(-y, x)$ (counterclockwise 90°):
$A(3,1)\to(-1, 3)$; $B(4,5)\to(-5, 4)$; $C(2,3)\to(-3, 2)$.
Then reflection $(x,y)\to(x, -y)$:
$(-1, 3)\to(-1, -3)$ (matches $D$); $(-5, 4)\to(-5, -4)$ (matches $E$); $(-3, 2)\to(-3, -2)$ (matches $F$). Ah! So the rotation is $(x,y)\to(-y, x)$ (counterclockwise 90°), but Option A says $(x,y)\to(y, -x)$ (clockwise 90°). Wait, maybe a typo, but let’s check the option again:

Option A: Rotation $(x,y)\to(y, -x)$ (clockwise 90°), then reflection $(x,y)\to(x, -y)$.

Wait, after clockwise 90°: $(3,1)\to(1, -3)$; then reflection: $(1, -3)\to(1, 3)$ (no). Wait, maybe the reflection is over $y$-axis? No, the option says $(x, -y)$.

Wait, perhaps the correct sequence is:

Rotate $\triangle ABC$ 90° clockwise ( $(x,y)\to(y, -x)$ ), then reflect over $x$-axis ( $(x,y)\to(x, -y)$ ). Let’s compute:

$A(3,1)\to(1, -3)$ (rotation) $\to(1, 3)$ (reflection) – no.

Wait, $D(-1,-3)$, $E(-5,-4)$, $F(-3,-2)$:

If we take $\triangle ABC$: $A(3,1)$, $B(4,5)$, $C(2,3)$.

Apply rotation $(x,y)\to(y, -x)$: $A\to(1, -3)$, $B\to(5, -4)$, $C\to(3, -2)$.

Then reflect over $x$-axis: $(x,y)\to(x, -y)$: $A\to(1, 3)$, $B\to(5, 4)$, $C\to(3, 2)$ – no.

Wait, maybe the rotation is $(x,y)\to(-y, x)$ (counterclockwise 90°): $A\to(-1, 3)$, $B\to(-5, 4)$, $C\to(-3, 2)$.

Then reflect over $x$-axis: $(-1, 3)\to(-1, -3)$ (matches $D$); $(-5, 4)\to(-5, -4)$ (matches $E$); $(-3, 2)\to(-3, -2)$ (matches $F$). So the rotation is $(x,y)\to(-y, x)$ (counterclockwise 90°), but Option A says $(x,y)\to(y, -x)$ (clockwise 90°). This is confusing, but let’s check the other options:

Option B: Reflection $(x,y)\to(-x,y)$ (over $y$-axis), then rotation $(x,y)\to(y, -x)$.

After reflection: $A(3,1)\to(-3,1)$; $B(4,5)\to(-4,5)$; $C(2,3)\to(-2,3)$.

Then rotation: $(-3,1)\to(1, 3)$; $(-4,5)\to(5, 4)$; $(-2,3)\to(3, 2)$ – not matching $DEF$.

Option C: Translation $(x,y)\to(x-4, y)$ then…
