Identify the transformation that maps the regular hexagon with a center (-7, 3.5) onto itself
Rotate 90° clockwise about (-7, 3.5) and reflect across the line x = -7
Rotate 90° clockwise about (-7, 3.5) and reflect across the line y = 3.5
Rotate 120° clockwise about (-7, 3.5) and reflect across the line x = -5
Rotate 120° clockwise about (-7, 3.5) and reflect across the line x = -7
Solution:
Given, a regular hexagon with a center (-7, 3.5)
We have to identify the transformation that maps the given regular hexagon onto itself.
A regular hexagon has 6 axes of symmetry.
So, the angle of rotational symmetry is given by 360 divided by the number of sides.
Angle of rotational symmetry = 360/6 = 60 degrees
Since 90 degrees is not a multiple of 60 degrees, options A and B cannot be true.
120 degrees is a multiple of 60 degrees.
So, the regular hexagon is rotated clockwise at 120º.
When we reflect a point across the line y=x, the x-coordinate, and y-coordinate change places.
From the point (-7, 3.5)
x = -7
This implies that the reflection across the line is x = -7.
Therefore, the hexagon rotates 120° clockwise about (-7, 3.5) and reflects across the line x = -7.
Identify the transformation that maps the regular hexagon with a center (-7, 3.5) onto itself
Summary:
The transformation that maps the regular hexagon with a center (-7, 3.5) onto itself is that the hexagon rotates 120° clockwise about (-7, 3.5) and reflects across the line x = -7.
