1. **State the problem:** We need to find a series of transformations that map Figure J with vertices approximately at $(-6,7)$, $(-5,3)$, $(-3,2)$, and $(-2,7)$ onto Figure K with vertices approximately at $(3,-3)$, $(4,-6)$, $(7,-7)$, and $(6,-3)$.
2. **Analyze the figures:** Figure J is in the top-left quadrant, and Figure K is in the bottom-right quadrant. The shapes appear congruent but reflected and translated.
3. **Step 1: Reflection**
Reflect Figure J across the $y$-axis to move it from the left side to the right side.
The reflection formula across the $y$-axis is:
$$ (x,y) \to (-x,y) $$
Applying to vertex $(-6,7)$:
$$ (-6,7) \to (6,7) $$
Similarly for other vertices.
4. **Step 2: Rotation**
Rotate the reflected figure $180^\circ$ about the origin to move it from the top-right quadrant to the bottom-left quadrant.
Rotation formula for $180^\circ$ about origin:
$$ (x,y) \to (-x,-y) $$
Applying to $(6,7)$:
$$ (6,7) \to (-6,-7) $$
5. **Step 3: Translation**
Translate the figure right and up to match Figure K's position.
Calculate translation vector by comparing a vertex of the rotated figure to the corresponding vertex of Figure K.
For example, from $(-6,-7)$ to $(7,-7)$:
Translation vector is:
$$ (7 - (-6), -7 - (-7)) = (13,0) $$
Apply translation:
$$ (x,y) \to (x+13,y) $$
6. **Summary of transformations:**
- Reflect across the $y$-axis: $(x,y) \to (-x,y)$
- Rotate $180^\circ$ about origin: $(x,y) \to (-x,-y)$
- Translate by $(13,0)$: $(x,y) \to (x+13,y)$
These transformations map Figure J onto Figure K.
