Transformations
>Translations, Reflections, Rotations
2
Transformations- three types we will look at:
Translations-slides
Reflections- flips
Rotations-turns
3
Translation
When you "slide" a geometric shape from one location to another on a coordinate plane. it does not change its size or shape. It just moves locations!
4
Reflections
This is a flip over the x or y axis (this will be our focus) If it is drawn on a coordinate plane, you can count the distance and simply redraw it....but there are rules you can learn as well :)
5
Rules for Reflection
Identify the coordinates for the vertices of the original shape.
For the new shape: if it is "flipped over the x axis" keep the x coordinate and change the sign of the new y. If it is "flipped over the y coordinate" change the sign of the new x coordinate and keep the y.
6
Example of point reflection
Original figure (-5,3) If I reflect (flip) over the x axis my new coordinates are (-5, -3)
Original figure (-5,3) If I reflect (flip) over the y axis my new coordinates are (5,-3)
REMEMBER...whichever axis you REFLECT (FLIP) over...you keep that same coordinate and change the sign of the other coordinate.
7
Rotations
Rotation means to turn. We will focus clockwise...meaning turning to the right (counter clockwise means the shape turns to the left)
8
Rotations made easy
In order to do this, you will need graph paper. There are rules...which we will look at :)
