'A, C, D, F'
Explanation
## Step 1### The problem involves understanding the concept of transformations in mathematics. A transformation is a function that changes the position, shape, and/or size of a figure. There are four main types of transformations: translations (slides), reflections (flips), rotations (turns), and dilations (identical shape, but different size). A transformation that preserves distance is also known as isometry. ## Step 2### We need to evaluate each transformation to determine whether it preserves distance. ## Step 3### A) Reflection over the y-axis is an example of isometry as it preserves the distance between each point and its image.## Step 4### B) The function (x, y) → (6x, 6y) is a dilation transformation and not isometric, where all distances are multiplied by the same factor, but the original distances among the points are not preserved.## Step 5### C) Rotation 90° clockwise about the origin is another example of isometry: the distance from the origin to a point and its image remains constant, as does the distance between any pair of points and their images.## Step 6### D) The transformation (x,y) to (x,-y) reflects a figure through the x-axis, which again is isometric since it simply flips a figure while preserving the original distances.## Step 7### E) Dilation with scale factor 0.5 centered at the origin, like any dilation that isn't with factor 1, doesn't preserve distances among original points and is hence not isometric.## Step 8### F) In the transformation (x, y) → (x-8, y+3), known as translation since it slides or moves every point the same distance in the stated direction, regardless of their original positions, is another instance of isometry.## Step 9### Based on these interpretations of each transformation, isometric transformations from the given options are reflection over the y-axis, rotation 90° clockwise about the origin, reflection over x-axis (from D option) and translation (from F).
