Answer:
C. a reflection across the x-axis followed by a translation of 1 unit right and 1 unit down
Step-by-step explanation:
Our pre-image points are A(-4, 1); B(-6, 5); C(-1, 2). Our image points are D(-2, 3); E(-5, -6) and F(0, -3).
A reflection across the x-axis will negate the y-coordinate of each point; this will map
A(-4, 1)→(-4, -1)
B(-6, 5)→(-6, -5)
C(-1, 2)→(-1, -2)
Comparing these points to the points in ΔDEF, we can see that each x-coordinate is 1 lower than the image points and each y-coordinate is 1 higher than the image points. This means we want to subtract 1 from each x-coordinate and subtract 1 from each y-coordinate; this is done by a translation 1 unit right and 1 unit down.
