Question

triangle abc and triangle abc are shown on the right. a student says that they can reflect triangle abc across the x - axis and then translate it 10 units to the right in order to create abc. do you agree with this student? justify your reasoning in the space below. how would we answer a question like this on anet? answer: write one sentence explaining if you agree or not. cite: write one sentence explaining what strategy you used to determine your answer. explain: write 1 sentence elaborating on what you would do in order to perform this transformation correctly. summarize: write one sentence restating your answer!

Explanation:

• Answer: No, I do not agree.
• Cite: I used the strategy of analyzing the orientation and position of the triangles after each transformation.
• Explain: To perform the transformation correctly, first reflect Triangle ABC across the x - axis and then translate it 10 units to the right and 1 unit down.
• Summarize: The student's transformation is incorrect as it misses the vertical translation.

Answer:

• Answer: No, I do not agree.
• Cite: Analyzed triangle orientation and position post - transformation.
• Explain: Reflect across x - axis, then translate 10 units right and 1 unit down.
• Summarize: Student's transformation lacks necessary vertical translation.
