1. **Problem Statement:**
We have a quadrilateral QRST with given coordinates before and after a reflection. We need to describe the transformation, identify the algebraic rule, find the image of point T, and evaluate statements about another reflection.
2. **Step 1: Describe the transformation for QRST.**
Looking at the points:
- Q(-9, -8) maps to Q'(9, -8)
- R(-9, -2) maps to R'(9, -2)
- S(-4, -2) maps to S'(4, -2)
The x-coordinates change sign from negative to positive, while y-coordinates remain the same.
3. **Step 2: Algebraic representation of the transformation.**
The transformation changes $(x, y)$ to $(-x, y)$ if reflecting over the y-axis, but here the x changes from negative to positive, so the rule is $(x, y) \to (-x, y)$ applied to the pre-image points.
Since the image points have positive x-values, the transformation is a reflection over the y-axis.
4. **Step 3: Find the location of T'.**
Given T(-4, -8), applying the reflection over the y-axis:
$$T' = (-(-4), -8) = (4, -8)$$
5. **Step 4: Evaluate statements about the reflection in Section C.**
- Statement 6: The pre-image is in quadrant III.
- Quadrant III has negative x and y. The pre-image is in quadrant II (negative x, positive y), so this is **False**.
- Statement 7: The orientation of the vertices changed.
- Reflection preserves orientation, so this is **False**.
- Statement 8: The reflection can be represented by $(-x, y)$.
- The reflection in Section C is across the x-axis, so the rule is $(x, y) \to (x, -y)$, so this is **False**.
- Statement 9: The line of reflection is the x-axis.
- Given the reflection flips y-values, this is **True**.
- Statement 10: The pre-image and image are congruent.
- Reflections preserve size and shape, so this is **True**.
**Final answers:**
- 3. The transformation is a reflection over the y-axis.
- 4. The algebraic rule is b. $(-x, y)$.
- 5. $T' = (4, -8)$.
- 6. False (pre-image is in quadrant II).
- 7. False (orientation does not change).
- 8. False (reflection is not $(-x, y)$ in Section C).
- 9. True (line of reflection is the x-axis).
- 10. True (pre-image and image are congruent).
