part a
first, take a look at preston’s sequence. how does a 180-degree rotation about the origin change the coordinates of a shape?
how does a translation 7 units up change the coordinates of a shape?
now look at chanel’s sequence. how does a reflection across the x-axis change the coordinates of a shape?

In 180 rotation (x,y) becomes (-x,-y) , In translation 7 units (x, y) becomes (x, y+7) and in reflection across  x-axis (x, y) becomes (x, -y).

180° rotation about the origin change the coordinates from (x,y) to (-x,-y). It means if an object having coordinates (3,4) then it will be (-3,-4).

Translation 7 units up change the coordinates from (x, y) to (x, y+7). It means if an object having coordinates (3,4) then it will be (3,4+7).

Reflection across the x-axis change the coordinates from (x, y) to (x, -y). It means if an object having coordinates (3,4) then it will be (3,-4).

Hence we can summarize the above phenomenon as in 180 rotation (x,y) becomes (-x,-y) , In translation 7 units (x, y) becomes (x, y+7) and in reflection across  x-axis (x, y) becomes (x, -y).

180° rotation about the origin change the coordinates from (x,y) to (-x,-y). In this exercise:

A = (-4, 5) -> (4, -5)  

B = (-3, 1) -> (3, -1)

C = (-5, 2) -> (5, -2)

Translation 7 units up change the coordinates from (x, y) to (x, y+7). Continuing with the exercise:

(4, -5) -> (4, 2)

(3, -1) -> (3, 6)

(5, -2) -> (5, 5)

Which are not the coordinates of triangle DEF.

Reflection across the x-axis change the coordinates from (x, y) to (x, -y). In this exercise:

A = (-4, 5) -> (-4, -5)  

B = (-3, 1) -> (-3, -1)

C = (-5, 2) -> (-5, -2)

the volume is the product of the area of the base, 3x(3x+4), and the height, 3x-1
