Do You Understand? Do You Know How?

1. Essential Question   How can you use a In 4–6, use the diagram below.
sequence of transformations to map a preimage
y
to its image? 6

2. Make Sense and Persevere  A preimage is −4

W′ Z′
rotated 180° about the origin and then rotated
180° about the origin again. Compare the −6
preimage and image.  MP.1
4. Describe a sequence of transformations that
maps rectangle WXYZ onto rectangle W′X′Y′Z′.

5. Describe another way that you could map

3. Reasoning  A figure ABC, with vertices A(2, 1), rectangle WXYZ onto W′X′Y′Z′.
B(7, 4), and C(2, 7), is rotated 90° clockwise about
the origin, and then reflected across the y-axis.
Describe another sequence that would result in
the same image. MP.2

6. Draw the image of rectangle WXYZ after a

reflection across the line y = 1 and a translation
1 unit right. Label the image W″X″Y″Z″.
