TRANSLATIONS
A Translation “slides” an object a
fixed distance in a given direction.
The original object and its translation
have the same shape and size and
they face in the same direction.
Translations are SLIDES.
Let's examine
some
coordinate geometry.

vertex moves the

direction.
Write the Points
• What are the coordinates
for A, B, C?
A (-4,5) B (-1,1) C (-4,-1)
• What are the coordinates
for A’, B’. C’?
A’ (2,5) B’ (5,1) C’ (2,-1)
• How are they alike?
They are similar triangles

Rotate “About Vertex”
• Draw the first shape with the points given
• Then rotate it at the vertex (both figures will
still touch) the amount given and in the
direction given (clockwise/counterclockwise)
• Give the new points to the figure

REFLECTION
A reflectioncan be seen in water, in a mirror, in glass,
or in a shiny surface. An object and its reflection have
same shape and size , but the figures face in opposite
the
directions . In a mirror, for example, right and left are
switched.
Line reflections are
FLIPS!!!
The line (where a mirror may be placed) is called the
reflection The distance from a point to the
line of reflection.
line of reflection is the same as the distance from
the point's image to the line of reflection.
A reflection can be thought of as a "flipping" of an object over
the line of reflection.

How to find a dilation
• You will multiply both the x and y-
coordinates for each point by the scale
factor.
• Scale factors will be given to you.
Example…
A figure has vertices F(-1, 1),
G(1,1), H(2,-1), and I(-1,-1).
Graph the figure and the
image of the figure after a
dilation with a scale factor of
3.
F(-1, 1) = F’(-3, 3)
G(1, 1) = G’(3, 3)
H(2, -1) = H’(6, -3)
I(-1, -1) = I’(-3, -3)
How to find a scale factor
• Take the measurement of both the original
image and the dilated one and set up a ratio
