1. Using Matrices to Perform Geometric Transformations
Kendalyn Paulin

2. How do Matrices apply to Transformations?
Remember we can translate a figure up, down, left and right.
When we do that we are changing the x and y coordinates of the original figure

3. Translating a Figure
Say we have a triangle with coordinates: A(0,0), B(2,5) and C(7,-1) shown below. The Matrix form would look like this:

4. Translate
Say you want to translate the figure 4 units to the left and 3 units up. You can do this by adding the translation matrix to the original matrix. The result is the final coordinates of the new figure.

5. Translation Matrices Add these matrices to translate figure….
Up y units
Down y units
Right x units
Left x units
