What combination of transformations is shown below?

reflection, then translation

reflection, then rotation

rotation, then reflection

rotation, then translation

key idea

A reflection flips the figure over a line to create a mirror image.

A rotation turns the figure around a point.

A translation slides the figure to a different location.

solution

Use a reflection to turn Shape 1 into Shape 2. This image shows a reflection. Reflect the shape across a vertical line.

Use a rotation to turn Shape 2 into Shape 3. This image shows a rotation. Rotate the shape 180°.

To go from Shape 1 to Shape 2 to Shape 3, use a reflection and then a rotation.
