Here are the step-by-step solutions to find the coordinates for each transformed shape.

1) Shape A to Shape B


Transformations: Reflect in the y-axis, then translate by vector $\begin{pmatrix} -2 \\ -6 \end{pmatrix}$.

* Step 1: Reflection in the y-axis.
The rule is $(x, y) \rightarrow (-x, y)$.
Original vertices of Shape A: $(-5, 5), (-2, 5), (-2, 1), (-4, 1), (-4, 3), (-5, 3)$.
Reflected vertices:
* $(-5, 5) \rightarrow (5, 5)$
* $(-2, 5) \rightarrow (2, 5)$
* $(-2, 1) \rightarrow (2, 1)$
* $(-4, 1) \rightarrow (4, 1)$
* $(-4, 3) \rightarrow (4, 3)$
* $(-5, 3) \rightarrow (5, 3)$

* Step 2: Translation by $\begin{pmatrix} -2 \\ -6 \end{pmatrix}$.
Subtract 2 from x and 6 from y.
* $(5, 5) \rightarrow (3, -1)$
* $(2, 5) \rightarrow (0, -1)$
* $(2, 1) \rightarrow (0, -5)$
* $(4, 1) \rightarrow (2, -5)$
* $(4, 3) \rightarrow (2, -3)$
* $(5, 3) \rightarrow (3, -3)$

Final Coordinates for Shape B: $(3, -1), (0, -1), (0, -5), (2, -5), (2, -3), (3, -3)$.

2) Triangle C to Triangle D


Transformations: Rotate 180° about $(-1, 2)$, then reflect in line $y = x$.

* Step 1: Rotation 180° about $(-1, 2)$.
Rule for 180° rotation about $(a,b)$: $(x,y) \rightarrow (2a-x, 2b-y)$. Here $a=-1, b=2$.
Formula: $(-2-x, 4-y)$.
Original vertices of Triangle C: $(0, 3), (0, 0), (4, 0)$.
Rotated vertices:
* $(0, 3) \rightarrow (-2-0, 4-3) = (-2, 1)$
* $(0, 0) \rightarrow (-2-0, 4-0) = (-2, 4)$
* $(4, 0) \rightarrow (-2-4, 4-0) = (-6, 4)$

* Step 2: Reflection in line $y = x$.
Rule: Swap x and y coordinates $(x, y) \rightarrow (y, x)$.
* $(-2, 1) \rightarrow (1, -2)$
* $(-2, 4) \rightarrow (4, -2)$
* $(-6, 4) \rightarrow (4, -6)$

Final Coordinates for Triangle D: $(1, -2), (4, -2), (4, -6)$.

3) Shape E to Shape F


Transformations: Enlarge by scale factor -2 from center $(2, -3)$, then translate by vector $\begin{pmatrix} -4 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix}$.

* Step 1: Enlargement by SF -2 from $(2, -3)$.
Formula: New Point = Center + ScaleFactor $\times$ (Old Point - Center).
Vector from center to point $\times -2$, then add to center.
Original vertices of Shape E: $(2, -3), (4, -3), (4, -5), (3, -5), (3, -7), (1, -7), (1, -5), (2, -5)$.

Let's calculate a few key points:
* Center $(2, -3)$ stays at $(2, -3)$.
* $(4, -3)$: Vector is $(2, 0)$. $\times -2 = (-4, 0)$. Add to center: $(2-4, -3+0) = (-2, -3)$.
* $(4, -5)$: Vector is $(2, -2)$. $\times -2 = (-4, 4)$. Add to center: $(2-4, -3+4) = (-2, 1)$.
* $(3, -5)$: Vector is $(1, -2)$. $\times -2 = (-2, 4)$. Add to center: $(2-2, -3+4) = (0, 1)$.
* $(3, -7)$: Vector is $(1, -4)$. $\times -2 = (-2, 8)$. Add to center: $(2-2, -3+8) = (0, 5)$.
* $(1, -7)$: Vector is $(-1, -4)$. $\times -2 = (2, 8)$. Add to center: $(2+2, -3+8) = (4, 5)$.
* $(1, -5)$: Vector is $(-1, -2)$. $\times -2 = (2, 4)$. Add to center: $(2+2, -3+4) = (4, 1)$.
* $(2, -5)$: Vector is $(0, -2)$. $\times -2 = (0, 4)$. Add to center: $(2+0, -3+4) = (2, 1)$.

Intermediate Vertices: $(2,-3), (-2,-3), (-2,1), (0,1), (0,5), (4,5), (4,1), (2,1)$.

* Step 2: Translation by $\begin{pmatrix} -4 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix}$.
Subtract 4 from x, add 3 to y.
* $(2, -3) \rightarrow (-2, 0)$
* $(-2, -3) \rightarrow (-6, 0)$
* $(-2, 1) \rightarrow (-6, 4)$
* $(0, 1) \rightarrow (-4, 4)$
* $(0, 5) \rightarrow (-4, 8)$
* $(4, 5) \rightarrow (0, 8)$
* $(4, 1) \rightarrow (0, 4)$
* $(2, 1) \rightarrow (-2, 4)$

Final Coordinates for Shape F: $(-2, 0), (-6, 0), (-6, 4), (-4, 4), (-4, 8), (0, 8), (0, 4), (-2, 4)$.

4) Shape G to Shape H


Transformations: Rotate 90° clockwise about origin, then reflect in line $x = -3$.

* Step 1: Rotate 90° clockwise about $(0,0)$.
Rule: $(x, y) \rightarrow (y, -x)$.
Original vertices of Shape G: $(-5, -3), (-2, -3), (-1, -5), (-5, -5)$.
Rotated vertices:
* $(-5, -3) \rightarrow (-3, 5)$
* $(-2, -3) \rightarrow (-3, 2)$
* $(-1, -5) \rightarrow (-5, 1)$
* $(-5, -5) \rightarrow (-5, 5)$

* Step 2: Reflect in line $x = -3$.
The vertical line is at $x = -3$. The distance from the line determines the new x.
Formula: $x_{new} = -3 - (x_{old} - (-3)) = -6 - x_{old}$. Y stays the same.
* $(-3, 5) \rightarrow (-6 - (-3), 5) = (-3, 5)$ (Unchanged, on the line)
* $(-3, 2) \rightarrow (-6 - (-3), 2) = (-3, 2)$ (Unchanged, on the line)
* $(-5, 1) \rightarrow (-6 - (-5), 1) = (-1, 1)$
* $(-5, 5) \rightarrow (-6 - (-5), 5) = (-1, 5)$

Final Coordinates for Shape H: $(-3, 5), (-3, 2), (-1, 1), (-1, 5)$.

5) Triangle I to Triangle J


Transformations: Enlarge by SF $\frac{1}{2}$ from center $(0, -1)$, then reflect in line $y = -x$.

* Step 1: Enlargement by SF $\frac{1}{2}$ from $(0, -1)$.
Formula: New = Center + $0.5 \times$ (Old - Center).
Original vertices of Triangle I: $(-2, 5), (4, 5), (4, 1)$.

* $(-2, 5)$: Vector from center is $(-2, 6)$. Half is $(-1, 3)$. Add to center $(0,-1) \rightarrow (-1, 2)$.
* $(4, 5)$: Vector from center is $(4, 6)$. Half is $(2, 3)$. Add to center $(0,-1) \rightarrow (2, 2)$.
* $(4, 1)$: Vector from center is $(4, 2)$. Half is $(2, 1)$. Add to center $(0,-1) \rightarrow (2, 0)$.

Intermediate Vertices: $(-1, 2), (2, 2), (2, 0)$.

* Step 2: Reflect in line $y = -x$.
Rule: $(x, y) \rightarrow (-y, -x)$.
* $(-1, 2) \rightarrow (-2, 1)$
* $(2, 2) \rightarrow (-2, -2)$
* $(2, 0) \rightarrow (0, -2)$

Final Coordinates for Triangle J: $(-2, 1), (-2, -2), (0, -2)$.

6) Shape K to Shape L


Transformations: Translate by vector $\begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ -4 \end{pmatrix}$, then rotate 90° anti-clockwise about $(-1, 0)$.

* Step 1: Translation by $\begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ -4 \end{pmatrix}$.
Keep x, subtract 4 from y.
Original vertices of Shape K: $(-3, 3), (-1, 7), (1, 3), (-3, 1)$.
Translated vertices:
* $(-3, 3) \rightarrow (-3, -1)$
* $(-1, 7) \rightarrow (-1, 3)$
* $(1, 3) \rightarrow (1, -1)$
* $(-3, 1) \rightarrow (-3, -3)$

* Step 2: Rotate 90° anti-clockwise about $(-1, 0)$.
Rule for 90° ACW about $(a,b)$: $(x,y) \rightarrow (a - (y-b), b + (x-a))$.
Here $a=-1, b=0$.
Formula: $(-1 - y, x + 1)$.

* $(-3, -1) \rightarrow (-1 - (-1), -3 + 1) = (0, -2)$
* $(-1, 3) \rightarrow (-1 - 3, -1 + 1) = (-4, 0)$
* $(1, -1) \rightarrow (-1 - (-1), 1 + 1) = (0, 2)$
* $(-3, -3) \rightarrow (-1 - (-3), -3 + 1) = (2, -2)$

Final Coordinates for Shape L: $(0, -2), (-4, 0), (0, 2), (2, -2)$.
