Rectangle ABCD has vertices A(1,1), B(4,1), C(4,3), and D(1,3). Rectangle A''B''C''D'' has vertices A''(-3,-2), B''(-3,-5), C''(-1,-5), and D''(-1,-2). Which sequence of transformations maps rectangle ABCD onto rectangle A''B''C''D''?
A90∘ clockwise rotation about the origin, then translation (x−4,y−1)
B90∘ counter-clockwise rotation about the origin, then translation (x−1,y−4)
CReflection over the x-axis, then translation (x−4,y−3)
DReflection over the y-axis, then translation (x−2,y−3)
