ALL TRANSFORMATIONS
EXAMPLE #1: Here are some points. What are the coordinates of A,
B, and C after a translation to the right by 4 units and
up 1 unit? Plot these points on the grid, and label them
A', B' and C'.

TRANSLATIONS
 Select all of the translations that take Triangle T to
EXAMPLE #2: Triangle U. There may be more than one correct
answer.

 a.Translate to .
b. Translate to .
c. Translate to .
d. Translate to .

How could we
summarize all the
translations ?

ii. Using the -axis as the line of
reflection, plot the image of

 𝐸
 𝐴 ′
iii.Label the image of each point
𝐵
  ′ with its coordinates.
iv.Include a label using a letter.
For example, the image of
point should be labeled .
EXAMPLE #3:  
a. If the point were reflected
using the -axis as the line
of reflection, what would
𝐵
 
be the coordinates of the
 𝐴 image? What about ? ?

ROTATIONS
  Apply each of the following transformations
to segment .
EXAMPLE #4:
a. Rotate segment 90 degrees around
center . Label the image of as . What
 𝐷
are the coordinates of ? 𝐶  ( 3 , −2 )
b. Rotate segment 90 degrees around
center . Label the image of as . What
are the coordinates of ?  𝐷 ( 1,7 )
c. Rotate segment 90 degrees clockwise
around . Label the image of as and the
image of as . What are the coordinates
of and ?   ,
 𝐸 d. Compare the two 90-degree
counterclockwise rotations of segment .
What is the same about the images of
these rotations? What is different?

To formally describe a rotation, we must include of rotation
_______________________________ and
________________________.
the angle of rotation
 
In the example above we have done the following rotations:
 
𝑅   ( 𝐴𝐵)
a. _______________
𝐵 ,90 𝑅
  ( 𝐴𝐵)
b. ______________
𝐴 , 90 𝑅
  ( 𝐴𝐵)
c. ________________
𝑂 ,−90
 
Remember: unless stated all rotations are counterclockwise. If a rotation is clockwise
we must use ____________________________
a negative sign before the angle!
