Explanation:

Question 1

Translation moves a figure without changing its shape, size, or orientation, creating congruent and parallel segments between pre - image and image points. Reflection creates congruent figures but the segments between pre - image and image points are not parallel (they are symmetric with respect to the line of reflection). Rotation creates congruent figures but the segments between pre - image and image points are not parallel (they form circular arcs). Dilation changes the size of the figure, so the segments are not congruent.

Rotation involves rotating a figure around a fixed point, and the path of each pre - image point to its image point is a circular arc. Translation moves a figure in a straight line. Reflection is a flip over a line, and the path is not circular. Dilation changes the size of the figure, and the path is not circular.

Step1: Identify the values of x and y

Given the pre - image point \((4,-7)\), so \(x = 4\) and \(y=-7\).

Step2: Apply the transformation rule \(f(x,y)\to(-y,x)\)

Substitute \(x = 4\) and \(y = - 7\) into the rule. First, find \(-y\): \(-y=-(-7)=7\). Then, the new \(x\) - coordinate is \(7\) and the new \(y\) - coordinate is \(x = 4\)? Wait, no, wait. Wait, the rule is \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\). So we take the negative of \(y\) as the new \(x\) - coordinate and \(x\) as the new \(y\) - coordinate. Wait, no, let's re - do it. If the rule is \(f(x,y)\to(-y,x)\), then for \((x = 4,y=-7)\), we calculate \(-y\) first: \(-y=-(-7) = 7\)? No, wait, no. Wait, \(y=-7\), so \(-y=-(-7)=7\)? Wait, no, the rule is \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\). So the new \(x\) - coordinate is \(-y\) and the new \(y\) - coordinate is \(x\). So \(x = 4\), \(y=-7\). Then \(-y=-(-7)=7\)? No, wait, \(y=-7\), so \(-y = - ( - 7)=7\)? Wait, no, that's wrong. Wait, \(y=-7\), so \(-y=7\)? No, wait, no. Wait, the rule is \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\). So we substitute \(x = 4\) and \(y=-7\) into \(-y\) and \(x\). So \(-y=-(-7)=7\)? No, wait, no. Wait, \(y = - 7\), so \(-y=7\)? Then the new \(x\) is \(-y = 7\)? No, wait, no. Wait, the rule is \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\). So the first component of the image is \(-y\) and the second component is \(x\). So for \((4,-7)\), \(-y=-(-7)=7\)? No, wait, \(y=-7\), so \(-y = 7\)? Then the image point is \((-y,x)=(7,4)\)? Wait, no, wait, no. Wait, \(y=-7\), so \(-y=-(-7) = 7\)? Then \(x = 4\). So the image point is \((7,4)\)? Wait, no, let's check again. The rule is \(f(x,y)\to(-y,x)\). So \(x = 4\), \(y=-7\). Then \(-y=-(-7)=7\), and \(x = 4\). So the image point is \((7,4)\)? Wait, no, option B is \((7,4)\), option C is \((-7,4)\). Wait, I think I made a mistake. Wait, \(y=-7\), so \(-y=-(-7)=7\)? No, wait, \(y=-7\), so \(-y = 7\)? Then the first coordinate is \(-y = 7\), the second coordinate is \(x = 4\). So the image point is \((7,4)\), which is option B? Wait, no, wait, let's do it again. 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 \((7,4)\), which is option B. Wait, but let's check the options. Option B is \((7,4)\), option C is \((-7,4)\). Wait, maybe I messed up the sign. Wait, \(y=-7\), so \(-y=-(-7)=7\)? Yes. So the image point is \((7,4)\), so option B.

A. translation
