Question

figure q is the result of a transformation on figure p. which transformation would accomplish this?
answer
a translation 4 units up
a reflection over the y - axis
a reflection over the x - axis
a translation 4 units down

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze translation

Translation moves a figure without flipping. Moving 4 units up would keep figure above x - axis. Moving 4 units down: check vertical distance.

Step2: Analyze reflection

Reflection over x - axis: (x,y)→(x, - y). Over y - axis: (x,y)→(-x,y). Figure Q is mirror - image over x - axis.

Answer:

A reflection over the x - axis
