Open Ended

Think back to our previous lesson. What does TRANSFORMATION mean in Math?

Open Ended

What does reflection mean to you?

Type response here

Are a type of transformation that move a shape by flipping it.
Shapes can be flipped across the x or y axis (point of reflection)
Corresponding Prime points are equidistant from the line of reflection as the pre-image
The pre-image is the original image and the image is the image after it has been

Reflection

Reflection across the x-axis

Reflection across the y-axis

Open Ended

What do you notice about the image and pre-image?

What similarities do you see? What differences do you see?

Multiple Choice

Which notation represents a reflection across the y-axis

(x, y) → (-x, y)

(x, y) → (x, -y)

Multiple Choice

Which notation represents a reflection across the x-axis

(x, y) → (-x, y)

(x, y) → (x, -y)

Multiple Choice

Triangle A,B,C has the coordinates
A: (-8, 8)
B: (-8, 4)
C: (5, 4)

The mapping notation

(x, y) → (-x, y) was used to create this image. What are the coordinates of point B' in the prime image?

(-8, 4)

(8, 4)

(-8, -4)
