1-7 Transformations in the Coordinate Plane
A transformation is a change in the position, size,
or shape of a figure.
The original figure is called the preimage.
The resulting figure is called the image.
A transformation maps the preimage to the image.
Arrow notation () is used to describe a
transformation, and primes (’) are used to label the
image.

Example 3: Identifying Transformations
A figure has vertices at A(1, –1), B(2, 3), and
C(4, –2). After a transformation, the image of
the figure has vertices at A'(–1, –1), B'(–2, 3),
and C'(–4, –2). Identify the transformation.

Example 4
A figure has vertices at E(2, 0), F(2, -1), G(5, -1),
and H(5, 0). After a transformation, the image of
the figure has vertices at E’(0, 2), F’(1, 2), G’(1, 5),
and H’(0, 5). Identify the transformation.
