△rst is mapped to △r′s′t′ using the rule (x, y)→(x,−y) followed by (x, y)→(3x,3y)

which statement correctly describes the relationship between △rst
and △r′s′t′ ?

a.) △rst is not congruent to △r′s′t′ because the rules do not represent a sequence of rigid motions.
b.) △rst is congruent to △r′s′t′ because the rules represent a rotation followed by a translation, which is a sequence of rigid motions.
c.) △rst is congruent to △r′s′t′ because the rules represent a reflection followed by a rotation, which is a sequence of rigid motions.
d.) △rst is congruent to △r′s′t′ because the rules represent a reflection followed by a translation, which is a sequence of rigid motions.

Remember:

a) (x,y) => (x, -y) is a reflection across X axis

b) (x,y) => (-x,y) is a reflection across Y axis

Here △RST is mapped to △R′S′T′ using the rule (x,y)→(x,−y)

Hence it is a reflection across X axis.

The size of the triangle does not alter.

But when this is followed by (x,y)→(3x,3y), the lengths increase by a factor 3.

Hence the triangles do not remain congruent.

△RST is not congruent to △R′S′T′ because the rules do not represent a sequence of rigid motions.

Option A) is the right answer

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.
