Two transformations are said to commute if applying the first followed by the second gives the same result as applying the second followed by the first. Consider these three transformations of the coordinate plane:
- a translation 2 units to the right,
- a -rotation counterclockwise about the origin,
- a reflection across the -axis.
Of the 3 pairs of distinct transformations from this list, how many commute?
