Question

which sequence of transformations maps \\( \triangle q r s \\) onto its image?
a translation, then a dilation
a reflection, then a translation
a dilation, then a reflection
a translation, then a reflection
the image is a different size and has been moved to the right.

Explanation:

• First, observe that the image is larger than the original triangle $\triangle QRS$, which indicates a dilation (a transformation that changes the size).
• Then, note the orientation change (a reflection flips a figure over a line, changing its orientation).

Answer:

C. A dilation, then a reflection
