1.) reflection
2.) rotation
3.)stretch
4.) translation

Answer 1

Your answer is A reflection.

Answer 2

The correct answer is A) reflection.

Consider the two rectangles shown. A reflection maps rectangles QRST to rectangles Q’R’S’T.

When we are talking about geometric concepts a reflection transforms the preimage and flips the image across the line of reflection in order to produce another image that reflects the original one. The axes of symmetry define the reflection of the object.
