  2. Types of Transformations Reflections: These are like mirror images as seen across a line or a point. Translations ( or slides): This moves the figure to a new location with no change to the looks of the figure. Rotations: This turns the figure clockwise or counter-clockwise but doesn’t change the figure. Dilations: This reduces or enlarges the figure to a similar figure.

  3. Reflections You can reflect a figure using a line or a point. All measures (lines and angles) are preserved but in a mirror image. You could fold the picture along line l and the left figure would coincide with the corresponding parts of right figure. Example: The figure is reflected across line l . l

  4. Reflections • A reflection over a line is a transformation in which each point of the original figure (pre-image) has an image that is the same distance from the line of reflection as the original point but is on the opposite side of the line.  • Remember that a reflection is a flip.  Under a reflection, the figure does not change size. 

  5. Reflections – continued… Reflection across the x-axis: the x values stay the same and the y values change sign. (x , y)  (x, -y) • reflects across the y axis to line n (2, 1)  (-2, 1) & (5, 4)  (-5, 4) Reflection across the y-axis: the y values stay the same and the x values change sign. (x , y)  (-x, y) Example: In this figure, line l : n l • reflects across the x axis to line m. (2, 1)  (2, -1) & (5, 4)  (5, -4) m

  6. Reflections across specific lines: To reflect a figure across the line y = a or x = a, mark the corresponding points equidistant from the line. i.e. If a point is 2 units above the line its corresponding image point must be 2 points below the line. Example: Reflect the fig. across the line y = 1. (2, 3)  (2, -1). (-3, 6)  (-3, -4) (-6, 2)  (-6, 0)

  9. Lines of Symmetry • If a line can be drawn through a figure so the one side of the figure is a reflection of the other side, the line is called a “line of symmetry.” • Some figures have 1 or more lines of symmetry. • Some have no lines of symmetry. Four lines of symmetry One line of symmetry Two lines of symmetry Infinite lines of symmetry No lines of symmetry

  10. Translations (slides) • If a figure is simply moved to another location without change to its shape or direction, it is called a translation (or slide). • If a point is moved “a” units to the right and “b” units up, then the translated point will be at (x + a, y + b). • If a point is moved “a” units to the left and “b” units down, then the translated point will be at (x - a, y - b). Example: A Image A translates to image B by moving to the right 3 units and down 8 units. B A (2, 5) B (2+3, 5-8)  B (5, -3)

  11. A C m B n Rotations • An image can be rotated about a fixed point. • The blades of a fan rotate about a fixed point. • An image can be rotated over two intersecting lines by using composite reflections. Image A reflects over line m to B,image B reflects over line n to C. Image C is a rotation of image A.

  12. Rotations It is a type of transformation where the object is rotated around a fixed point called the point of rotation. When a figure is rotated 90° counterclockwise about the origin, switch each coordinate and multiply the first coordinate by -1. (x, y) (-y, x) Ex: (1,2) (-2,1) & (6,2)  (-2, 6) When a figure is rotated 180° about the origin, multiply both coordinates by -1. (x, y) (-x, -y) Ex: (1,2) (-1,-2) & (6,2)  (-6, -2)
