Use rigid motions to explain whether the triangles in the figure are congruent. Be sure to describe specific rigid motions in your explanation.

There are 2 steps:

1. 90° counterclockwise rotation about the origin

2. Translation downward 2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 90° counterclockwise rotation about the origin = (x, y) to (-y, x),

D moves from (-2, 4) to (-4, -2)

W moves from (-1, 2) to (-2, -1)

P moves from (3, 3) to (-3, 3)

2. Translation downward 2 units = (x, y) to (x, y-2),

D moves from (-4, -2) to (-4, -4) = M

W moves from (-2, -1) to (-2, -3) = J

P moves from (-3, 3) to (-3, 1) = S
