Well..What do I do now
What graph? Cannot copy and paste here.
Well you all are stuck I can see, It's usually history questions on this app so I understand to an extent.
To determine the correct series of transformations that maps parallelogram ABCD to parallelogram A'B'C'D', we need to analyze the given options and consider the properties of each transformation.
Option (a) suggests a 180° counterclockwise rotation about the origin, followed by a reflection in the y-axis.
Option (b) suggests a 90° counterclockwise rotation about the origin, followed by a reflection in the x-axis.
Option (c) suggests a 90° counterclockwise rotation about the origin, followed by a reflection in the y-axis.
Option (d) suggests a 180° counterclockwise rotation about the origin, followed by a reflection in the x-axis.
To determine the correct option, we can examine the original parallelogram ABCD and the image parallelogram A'B'C'D'. We need to observe the corresponding sides and angles of the two parallelograms.
If we analyze the given graph, we can see that the top and bottom sides of parallelogram A'B'C'D' are parallel to the top and bottom sides of parallelogram ABCD. This implies that there is no rotation involved in the transformation.
However, the left and right sides of parallelogram A'B'C'D' are not parallel to the left and right sides of ABCD. This indicates that a reflection is involved in the transformation.
From our analysis, we can conclude that the correct series of transformations is a reflection.
Looking at the options, option (a) includes a rotation, which contradicts our findings. Option (b) also includes a rotation, which is not required. Option (c) involves a reflection in the y-axis, which matches our observation. And finally, option (d) includes a reflection in the x-axis, which is not consistent with our analysis.
Therefore, the correct series of transformations that maps parallelogram ABCD to parallelogram A'B'C'D' is a 90° counterclockwise rotation about the origin, followed by a reflection in the y-axis. So the correct answer is option (c).
