Question

figure u is the result of a transformation on figure t. which transformation would accomplish this?

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the position of the figures

Figure \(T\) is at \(x = 2\) (approximate for the vertex - like point) and Figure \(U\) is at \(x=-2\) (approximate for the vertex - like point).

Step2: Recall the transformation rules

The rule for a reflection over the \(y\) - axis is \((x,y)\to(-x,y)\). If we take a general point \((x,y)\) on Figure \(T\), after reflection over the \(y\) - axis, it will be \((-x,y)\) which is the position of the corresponding point on Figure \(U\).

Answer:

Reflection over the \(y\) - axis.
