Transformations 3-6, 3-7, & 3-8
Transformation Movements of a figure in a plane May be a SLIDE, FLIP, or TURN a change in the position, shape, or size of a figure.
Image Original Image Slide The symbol ‘ is read “prime”. The figure you get after a translation A A’ Slide C B C’ B’ Original Image To identify the image of point A, use prime notation Al. You read Al as “A prime”. The symbol ‘ is read “prime”. ABC has been moved to A’B’C’. A’B’C’ is the image of ABC.
Translation a transformation that moves each point of a figure the same distance and in the same direction. AKA - SLIDE A A’ C B C’ B’

Rule: (x,y) (x+4, y-3) Writing a Rule Can be written as: R4, D3 (Right 4, Down 3) Rule: (x,y) (x+4, y-3)
Rule (x+6, y-3) Cl = (4, -1) Al = (1, -2) Bl = (5, 1) Translations Example 1: If triangle ABC below is translated 6 units to the right and 3 units down, what are the coordinates of point Al. A (-5, 1) B (-1, 4) C (-2, 2) Rule (x+6, y-3) -First write the rule and then translate each point. Cl = (4, -1) Al = (1, -2) Bl = (5, 1) -Now graph both triangles and see if your image points are correct. B A C B’ C’ A’
-First graph the triangle and then translate each point. Example 2: Triangle JKL has vertices J (0, 2), K (3, 4), L (5, 1). Translate the triangle 4 units to the left and 5 units up. What are the new coordinates of Jl? -First graph the triangle and then translate each point. Kl = (-1, 9) Ll = (1, 6) Jl = (-4, 7) -You can use arrow notation to describe a translation. For example: (x, y) (x – 4, y + 5) shows the ordered pair (x, y) and describes a translation to the left 4 unit and up 5 units. K’ J’ L’ K J L
Al (-1, 3) Bl (-4, -2) B Al A Bl You try some: Graph each point and its image after the given translation. a.) A (1, 3) left 2 units b.) B (-4, 4) down 6 units Al (-1, 3) Bl (-4, -2) B Al A Bl
Example 3: Write a rule that describes the translation below Point A (2, -1) Al (-2, 2) Point B (4, -1) Bl (0, 2) Point C (4, -4) Cl (0, -1) Point D (2, -4) Dl (-2, -1) Rule (x, y) (x – 4, y + 3) Example 4: Write a rule that describes each translation below. a.) 3 units left and 5 units up b.) 2 units right and 1 unit down Rule (x, y) (x – 3, y + 5) Rule (x, y) (x + 2, y – 1)
Reflection Another name for a FLIP A A’ C B B’ C’

When one side of a figure is a MIRROR IMAGE of the other Symmetry When one side of a figure is a MIRROR IMAGE of the other
The line you reflect a figure across Line of Reflection The line you reflect a figure across Ex: X or Y axis X - axis
In the diagram to the left you will notice that triangle ABC is reflected over the y-axis and all of the points are the same distance away from the y-axis. Therefore triangle AlBlCl is a reflection of triangle ABC Example 1: Draw all lines of reflection for the figures below. This is a line where if you were to fold the two figures over it they would line up. How many does each figure have? a.) b.) 1 6
Example 2: Graph the reflection of each point below over each line of reflection. a.) A (3, 2) is reflected over the x-axis b.) B (-2, 1) is reflected over the y-axis A B Bl Al
Example 3: Graph the triangle with vertices A(4, 3), B (3, 1), and C (1, 2). Reflect it over the x-axis. Name the new coordinates. C A B C’ (1,-2) B’ (3,-1) A’ (4,-3)
Symmetry of the Alphabet Sort the letters of the alphabet into groups according to their symmetries Divide letters into two categories: symmetrical not symmetrical

Rotations in a Coordinate Plane In a coordinate plane, sketch the quadrilateral whose vertices are A(2, –2), B(4, 1), C(5, 1), and D(5, –1). Then, rotate ABCD 90º counterclockwise about the origin and name the coordinates of the new vertices. Describe any patterns you see in the coordinates. SOLUTION Plot the points, as shown in blue. Use a protractor, a compass, and a straightedge to find the rotated vertices. The coordinates of the preimage and image are listed below. In the list, the x-coordinate of the image is the opposite of the y-coordinate of the preimage. The y-coordinate of the image is the x-coordinate of the preimage. Figure ABCD Figure A'B'C'D' A(2, –2) A '(2, 2) B(4, 1) B '(–1, 4) This transformation can be described as (x, y) (–y, x). C(5, 1) C '(–1, 5) D(5, –1) D '(1, 5)

Think About it: Is there a way to determine the angle of rotation for a particular design without actually measuring it?
When there are lines of symmetry 360 ÷ number of lines of symmetry = angle of rotation When there are no lines of symmetry: 360 ÷ number of possible rotations around the circle. 5 lines of symmetry 3 points to rotate it to
