Explanation:

Question 1

• Translation: Moves every point of a figure the same distance in the same direction. The segments connecting pre - image and image points are congruent (same length) and parallel (same direction).
• Reflection: Creates mirror images. The segments connecting pre - image and image points are congruent but not parallel (they are perpendicular to the line of reflection in most cases).
• Rotation: Rotates a figure around a fixed point. The segments connecting pre - image and image points are congruent but not parallel (they form circular arcs around the center of rotation).
• Dilation: Changes the size of a figure, so the segments connecting pre - image and image points are not congruent (unless the scale factor is 1).

• Translation: Moves points in a straight - line path.
• Reflection: Moves points across a line of reflection, following a perpendicular path to the line of reflection.
• Rotation: Rotates a figure around a fixed point. So, the path of each pre - image point to its image point is a circular arc (since all points are rotated around a center, and the distance from the center to each point remains constant, creating a circular path).
• Dilation: Changes the size of a figure, and the path of points is along straight lines from the center of dilation.

Step 1: Identify the coordinates of the pre - image

The pre - image point is \((x,y)=(4, - 7)\).

Step 2: Apply the transformation rule \(f(x,y)\to(-y,x)\)

Substitute \(x = 4\) and \(y=-7\) into the rule. First, find \(-y\): when \(y = - 7\), \(-y=-(-7) = 7\). Then, the \(x\) - coordinate of the image is the original \(x\) - coordinate? No, wait, the rule is \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\). So the new \(x\) - coordinate is \(-y\) and the new \(y\) - coordinate is \(x\). So substituting \(x = 4\) and \(y=-7\), we get \((-(-7),4)=(7,4)\)? Wait, no, wait: \(y=-7\), so \(-y = -(-7)=7\)? No, wait, no: the rule is \(f(x,y)\to(-y,x)\). So for \((x = 4,y=-7)\), \(-y=-(-7) = 7\)? No, that's a mistake. Wait, \(y=-7\), so \(-y=-( - 7)=7\)? No, wait, no: if \(y=-7\), then \(-y = 7\)? Wait, no, \(-y\) when \(y = - 7\) is \(-(-7)=7\)? But let's do it again. The rule is \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\). So \(x = 4\), \(y=-7\). Then \(-y=-(-7)=7\)? No, that's wrong. Wait, \(y=-7\), so \(-y = - (y)=-(-7)=7\)? Wait, no, the rule is to take the negative of \(y\) as the new \(x\) and \(x\) as the new \(y\). So \(x = 4\), \(y=-7\). New \(x=-y=-(-7) = 7\)? No, that's not right. Wait, no: \(y=-7\), so \(-y = 7\)? Then new \(x = 7\), new \(y=x = 4\)? But that's option B. But wait, no, let's check again. Wait, the rule is \(f(x,y)\to(-y,x)\). So for the point \((4,-7)\), \(x = 4\), \(y=-7\). Then \(-y=-(-7)=7\)? No, that's incorrect. Wait, \(y=-7\), so \(-y = - (y)=-(-7)=7\)? Wait, no, the negative of \(-7\) is \(7\). Then the new \(x\) is \(-y = 7\) and the new \(y\) is \(x = 4\)? But that's option B. But wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, no, let's do it step by step. The pre - image is \((x,y)=(4,-7)\). The transformation is \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\). So we replace \(x\) with \(-y\) and \(y\) with \(x\). So \(x = 4\), \(y=-7\). Then \(-y=-(-7)=7\), and \(x = 4\). So the image point is \((7,4)\)? But wait, option B is \((7,4)\), option C is \((-7,4)\). Wait, no, I think I messed up the sign. Wait, \(y=-7\), so \(-y=-(-7)=7\)? No, that's correct. Wait, no, the rule is \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\). So \(x = 4\), \(y=-7\). So \(-y=-(-7)=7\), and \(x = 4\). So the image is \((7,4)\)? But let's check the options. Option B is \((7,4)\), option C is \((-7,4)\). Wait, maybe I misread the rule. Is the rule \(f(x,y)\to(-y,x)\) or \(f(x,y)\to(-x,y)\)? No, the rule is given as \(f(x,y)\to(-y,x)\). So with \(x = 4\) and \(y=-7\), \(-y = 7\) and \(x = 4\), so the image is \((7,4)\), which is option B? Wait, no, wait, no: \(y=-7\), so \(-y=-( - 7)=7\), and \(x = 4\), so the point is \((7,4)\), which is option B. But let's check again. Wait, maybe the rule is \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\), so for \((4,-7)\), \(x = 4\), \(y=-7\). Then \(-y = 7\), \(x = 4\), so \((7,4)\), which is option B.
