Which transformation gives the same result as a reflection over the y-axis followed by a reflection over the x-axis? a. a rotation of 180° around the origin b. a rotation of 270° around the origin c. a translation to the left and then down d. a rotation of 90° around the origin

a. A rotation of 180° around the origin.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rotation of 180° around the origin would give us the same result as a reflection over the y-axis followed by a reflection over the x-axis. When we perform this rotation, we take each of its points through the transformation (x,y) ---> (-x, -y). This means that we would multiply the coordinates of each of the points on the shape by a negative. This is equivalent to reflecting a shape over the x-axis and the y-axis.

answer:   segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.   an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.   in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated.   segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:
