1. **State the problem:** We need to describe a sequence of rigid motions followed by a dilation with center at (0,0) that maps quadrilateral RSTU to VXYZ.
2. **Given points:**
- RSTU: R(4,2), S(6,6), T(4,10), U(2,6)
- VXYZ: V(-4,-2), X(-2,-6), Y(-4,-10), Z(-6,-6)
3. **Step 1: Identify the reflection.**
- Notice that R(4,2) maps to V(-4,-2), which is the reflection of R across the origin.
- Reflecting across the x-axis changes $(x,y)$ to $(x,-y)$.
- Reflecting across the y-axis changes $(x,y)$ to $(-x,y)$.
- Reflecting across the origin changes $(x,y)$ to $(-x,-y)$.
Since the points move from positive x and y to negative x and y, reflection across the origin is equivalent to reflection across both axes.
4. **Step 2: Check translation.**
- After reflection across the x-axis, R(4,2) would map to (4,-2).
- To get to V(-4,-2), we need to translate left by 8 units.
- After reflection across the y-axis, R(4,2) would map to (-4,2).
- To get to V(-4,-2), we need to translate down by 4 units.
- After reflection across the x-axis and translation right/up or left/down, check which matches the points.
5. **Step 3: Check scale factor for dilation.**
- Distance from origin to R is $\sqrt{4^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{20} \approx 4.47$.
- Distance from origin to V is $\sqrt{(-4)^2 + (-2)^2} = \sqrt{20} \approx 4.47$.
- Since distances are equal, scale factor is 1 (no dilation needed).
6. **Conclusion:**
- Reflection across the x-axis maps R(4,2) to (4,-2).
- Translation 8 units left moves (4,-2) to (-4,-2).
- No dilation needed (scale factor 1).
**Answer:**
Choice A: Reflection across the y-axis, translation 0 units left and 0 units down, dilation with center (0,0) and scale factor 1 is incorrect.
Choice B: Reflection across the x-axis, translation 8 units left and 0 units down, dilation with center (0,0) and scale factor 1 is correct.
Choice C: Reflection across the x-axis, translation right and up is incorrect.
Final sequence:
Reflection across the x-axis, translation 8 units left and 0 units down, dilation with center (0,0) and scale factor 1.
