Mira uses the mapping rule to find the coordinate of a point that had been rotated 90° clockwise about the origin. Examine Mira’s solution to determine which step has an error.M(–5, –6) is rotated 90° clockwise. Step 1. Use the rule (x, y)g(y, –x).Step 2. Switch x and y coordinates: (–6, –5)Step 3. Multiply the new x-coordinate by –1: ((–1)–6, –5)Step 4. Simplify: (6, –5)Mira made an error in Step .

Triangle 1 is transformed onto triangle 2 in the graph below.Which statement about the transformation is true?

Question illustration
A
The transformation is a reflection because triangle 2 is a flip of triangle 1.
B
The transformation is a dilation because triangle 2 is a different size than triangle 1.
C
The transformation is a vertical translation because triangle 1 slid vertically.
D
The transformation is a rotation because triangle 2 is a quarter turn of triangle 1.

Kadesha says that the triangles represent a translation.Which explains whether Kadesha is correct?

Question illustration
A
Kadesha is correct because triangle ABC is the pre-image and triangle is the image.
Option A
B
Kadesha is correct because each point in triangle ABC moves five units up.
C
Kadesha is not correct because the number of units between points A and B is different than those between points and .
Option C
D
Kadesha is not correct because a translation is a horizontal movement.
