△XYZ is mapped to △X'Y'Z' using the rules (x, y)→(x+5, y−3) followed by (x, y)→(−x, −y) .



Which statement describes the relationship between △XYZ and △X'Y'Z'?


△XYZ is congruent to △X'Y'Z' because the rules represent a translation followed by a rotation, which is a sequence of rigid motions.

△XYZ is not congruent to △X'Y'Z' because the rules do not represent a sequence of rigid motions.

△XYZ is congruent to △X'Y'Z' because the rules represent a rotation followed by a reflection, which is a sequence of rigid motions.

△XYZ is congruent to △X'Y'Z' because the rules represent a rotation followed by a translation, which is a sequence of rigid motions.

Given that △XYZ is mapped to △X'Y'Z' using the rules (x, y)→(x+5, y−3) followed by (x, y)→(−x, −y) .

We know that (x,y) => (x+h,y+k) type operation represents translation so rule (x, y)→(x+5, y−3)  will cause translation.

We know that (x,y) => (-x,-y) type operation represents rotation about origin so rule (x, y)→(−x, −y) will cause rotation.

So combining both results and comparing with given choices. we find that only 1st choice "△XYZ is congruent to △X'Y'Z' because the rules represent a translation followed by a rotation, which is a sequence of rigid motions."

is correct.
