REFLECTIONS, ROTATIONS AND TRANSLATIONS
Reflections
OBJECT IMAGE Reflect the triangle in the mirror line. The line joining a point to its image is always at right angles to the mirror line.
OBJECT IMAGE Reflect the shape in the mirror line. The line joining a point to its image is always at right angles to the mirror line.
OBJECT IMAGE Reflect the shape in the line y = 5. First draw the mirror line. y x
Rotations
Rotate the triangle 90 o clockwise about the given point.
Use tracing paper for rotations.
Rotate the triangle 90 o clockwise about the given point. Object Image
Rotate the triangle 180 o about the given point.
Use tracing paper for rotations.
Rotate the triangle 180 o about the given point. Object Image
Translations
A translation is a transformation that ‘slides’ a shape from one place to another. IMAGE OBJECT In a translation each point on the original shape moves the same distance and in the same direction. This is a translation of. The top number is the movement in the x direction. positivenegative The bottom number is the movement in the y direction. positive negative 4 5
