Reflection Powerpoint Presentation

This document defines geometric transformations and reflections. It explains that a reflection is a type of rigid transformation that flips a geometric figure over a mirror line, resulting in an image that is the same size and distance from the mirror line as the original figure. Specific types of reflections are described, including reflecting over the x-axis, y-axis, and line y=x. Real-life examples of reflections are given. Problems are presented asking the reader to determine the image of points reflected over various axes and lines.

OBJECTIVES :

- Define geometric transformations.


- Define reflection.
- Draw the image of geometric figures by reflection .
- Draw the mirror line.
- Real life examples of reflection.
GEOMETRIC TRANSFORMATIONS
transformation – of a geometric figure is a change in its position, shape, or
size.
Object – is the original figure.

image – is the resulting figure after undergoing a transformation.

Two Types of Transformations :

Rigid Transformation – is a transformation that does not alter the size or


shape of a geometric figure.
Includes ( Reflection , translation and Rotation )

Similarity Transformation – is a transformation that does alter the size but


not the shape of a geometric figure.
Includes Enlargement.
REFLECTION
• Reflection is a kind of transformation. It is basically a
'flipping’ or folding of a shape over the line of
reflection
• The original point is called (object)and the reflection is
called (Image).
• Reflection has the same size as the original image
• The central line of reflection is called the Mirror Line ...
REAL LIFE EXAMPLE FOR REFLECTION

• Reflections are everywhere ... in mirrors,


glass, and here in a lake. ... what do you
notice ?
• Every point is the same distance away from
the central line ( life of reflection) ! You can
count these distance on the grid.
... and …the line of reflection will lie directly in
the middle between the original figure and its
image..
• The reflection has the same size as the
original image.
WAYS TO DO REFLECTIONS
EXAMPLES OF THE MOST COMMON TYPES OF REFLECTIONS IN MATH (COORDINATE PLANE):

• Reflection over the x-axis:


(Horizontal)
• When you reflect a point across the X axis, the x
coordinate remains the same ,but the y coordinate is
transformed into its opposite ( its sign is change)

• The general rule for a reflection over the x-axis: (A,B) (A,
−B).

When the mirror line is the x-axis


we change each (x,y) into (x,−y)
REFLECT OVER THE Y-AXIS (VERTICAL)
When you reflect a point across the y-axis,the y coordinate
remains the same , but the x coordinate is transformed into its
opposite (Its sign is changed) .

The general rule for a reflection over the Y-axis: (A,B) (-A,B).

The reflection of the point (x,y) across the y-axis is


the point (-x,y)
 Reflection in the line y = x (Diagonal)
• A reflection in the line y = x can be seen in the picture
below in which A is reflected to its image A’.
• The general rule for a reflection in the y-axis: (A, B) (B, A)

When the mirror line is the x=y


we change each (x,y) into (y,x)
Reflect over any line
Remember that each point of a reflected image is the same distance from the line of
reflection as the corresponding point of the original figure. The line of reflection will
lie directly in the middle between the original figure and its image.

Notice that each point of the original figure and its image are the same
distance away from the line of reflection. You may be able to simply "count"
these distances on the grid.
