Example Solution: Reflection over the x-axis and transformation 2 units left.
Practice makes perfect
To find congruent transformations, we have to look for sequences of translations, rotations, and reflections that map one figure onto another. Let's consider the given diagram.
It appears that â–ł TRS is the image of â–łLMN after a reflection over the x-axis and a translation 2 units left. Let's confirm whether this is true. We will start with the reflection.
Now, let's consider a translation of 2 units left.
A reflection over the x-axis and a transformation of 2 units left is a congruence transformation that maps â–ł LMN onto â–ł RST.
