Answer
The transformation that maps shape T to shape S is a combination of two reflections:
Reflect shape T in the line x = -1 to obtain shape R.
Then, reflect shape R in the line y = -2 to produce shape S.
In summary, the overall transformation can also be described as a reflection across the line that results from these two transformations, which effectively translates the shape from T directly to S.
