4. Do Now Take out a sheet of paper and answer the following questions:
What areas did I do well on in the test?
What areas do I still need to work on?
What can I do to improve/keep up the good work for the next test?

5. What is happening in these pictures?
Insert picture of reflection and dilation here

6. Transformations
Transformation—the process of moving a figure or changing it
Map—to move
The location of the figure after it is transformed is called the transformation image
Example: The image of point A after it is mapped through a translation is point A’.

7. Four Main Types of Transformations
Translation
Rotation
Reflection
Dilation

8. Translation
Animation 1
What is happening in the animation?

9. Definition of Translation
Moving a figure to a new location with no other changes
Remember:
Translate = Slide
Every point moves the same number of units in the same direction

10. Notation Transformations: add apostrophe to letter for each point:
Original Object (A)  Transformation Image (A’)
Example: Translation of triangle ABC is triangle A’B’C’

11. Translations on the Coordinate Plane Continued
(x + h, y + k)
Positive = shift up or to the right
Negative = shift down or to the left
Also can be written as <h, k>
Ex.: Point A(-1, -5) transforms according to the rule (x, y)  (x + 2, y + 3). What is the resulting point?
Answer: A’(-1 + 2, ) = A’(1, -2)—two units right, three units up

12. Practice Problems I (-6, 6) (-2, -11)
State the transformation image (result) after each transformation. Describe what is happening in words.
(-1, 3)  (x – 5, y + 3) 
(5, -12)  (x – 7, y + 1) 
(-6, 6)
(-2, -11)

13. Practice Problems II
A triangle with coordinates L(-3, 2), M(6, -2), and N(2, -5) is translated so that M’ is at (2, 2). Where are the images of points L and N located?
From M to M’ is (x – 4, y + 4)
L’(-3 – 4, 2 + 4) = L’(-7, 6)
N’(2 – 4, ) = N’(-2, -1)

14. Section 2
Rotations

15. How are these motions different?

16. Rotation
A rotation is a transformation where the figure is turned about a given point.
The center of rotation is the point around which the object is rotated.

17. Rotation in the Coordinate Plane
Instead of left/right, we say clockwise (cw) or counterclockwise (ccw)
Animation 2
A clockwise rotation of 90 degrees is equal to a counterclockwise rotation of how many degrees?
Answer: 270 degrees

18. How to Rotate a Shape a Graph
Question: Graph the rotation of triangle ABC with points A(2, 1); B(5, 2); C(3, 4) 90 degrees ccw.
Plot the axes and points on your graph.
Rotate your paper 90° clockwise.
If the question says cw, rotate your paper ccw.
Plot the same coordinates, using the y-axis as the x-axis and the x-axis as the y-axis.
What do you notice about the coordinates?

19. Practice Activity
Graph the image of triangle ABC with points A(2, 1); B(5, 2); C(3, 4) under a rotation of…
180° ccw
270° ccw
What do you notice about the coordinates?

20. Special Rotations
90° ccw (270° cw)—image has coordinates (-y, x); (2, 1)  (-1, 2)
180° ccw or cw—image has coordinates (-x, -y); (2, 1)  (-2, -1)
270° ccw (90° cw)—image has coordinates (y, -x); (2, 1)  (1, -2)

21. Practice Problems
Find the coordinates of these points when rotated 90° ccw, 180° ccw, and 270° ccw :
Point
90° ccw
180° ccw
270° ccw
(-3, -5)
(2, 1)
(0, -4)
(5, -3) (3, 5) (-5, 3)
(-1, 2) (-2, -1) (1, -2)
(4, 0) (0, 4) (-4, 0)

22. Section 3
Reflections

23. Reflection
A transformation where each point appears at an equal distance on the opposite side of a given line
Line of reflection
Animation 1

24. What do you notice? What parts of the shape stay the same?
Which part changes?
Orientation is reversed—the object is no longer facing the same way

25. Graphing a Reflection on the Coordinate Plane
Question: Graph the reflection of triangle ABC with points A(-2, 1); B(-5, 2); and C(-3, 4) across the x-axis.
Graph the axes and plot the points.
Fold your paper along the line of reflection.
Trace the triangle on the back of your paper. Unfold the paper and trace the triangle again, this time on the front of the paper.
Label the new coordinates.

26. On Your Own…
Graph the reflection of triangle ABC with points A(-2, 1); B(-5, 2); and C(-3, 4):
Across the y-axis
Across the line y = x (Hint: Graph the line first!)

27. What are the coordinates of the transformation image?
Find the coordinates of the image after a reflection across x-axis, y-axis, and line y = x.
Point
x-axis
y-axis
y = x
A(-2, 1)
B(-5, 2)
C(-3, 4)
A’(-2, -1)
B’(-5, -2)
C’(-3, -4)
A’’(2, 1)
B’’(5, 2)
C’’(3, 4)
A’’’(1, -2)
B’’’(2, -5)
C’’’(4, -3)

28. Special Reflections Across the x-axis: (x, y)  (x, -y)
Example: (-2, 1)  (-2, -1)
Across the y-axis: (x, y)  (-x, y)
Example: (-2, 1)  (2, 1)
Across the line y = x: (x, y)  (y, x)
Example: (-2, 1)  (1, -2)

29. Section 4
Dilations

30. What is happening in this picture?

31. Dilation
Transformation in which a polygon is enlarged or reduced by a factor around a center point.
“Zoom in”
“Zoom out”

32. What kind of shapes do dilations create?
SIMILAR
“Same shape, different sizes”
Congruent angles
Proportional sides

33. Isometry Transformation that results in a congruent image
Examples of isometry:
Translation
Rotation
Reflection
NOT an example of isometry
Dilation

34. Different Kinds of Isometry
Direct isometry—orientation stays the same
Translation
Rotation
Opposite isometry—orientation is reversed
Reflection

35. Dilation in the Coordinate Plane
To find the dilation image, multiply every point by the scale factor
Scale Factor—how big the image is compared to the original
AKA. Dilation ratio
Example: Point A(-3, 2) undergoes a dilation of 2. What are the coordinate of the image?
Answer: (-3 × 2, 2 × 2) = (-6, 4)

36. Practice Problems Original Scale factor = ½ Scale factor = 2

37. Section 5
Compositions

38. Composition Combination of two or more transformations Examples:
Dilation and translation
Reflection and rotation

39. What happens when we combine two or more transformations?
What is happening in this picture?
Glide reflection = reflection + translation

40. Notation D2 – Dilation of 2 R90 – Rotation of 90° counterclockwise
Assume the direction is ccw unless it says “clockwise”
ry-axis – Reflect across the y-axis
T-2,3 – Translation of (x – 2, y + 3)

41. How to Do Composition Problems
Treat composition as two problems
DO SECOND PART FIRST!
Example: A point located at A(-3, -2) undergoes the following composition: D2◦ R90. State the image of points A’.
R90: Use formula (-y, x).
A(-3, -2)  A’(2, 3)
D2 : A(4, 6

42. Does order matter in a composition?
Try doing these two compositions. What do you notice about the answer?
Point A(-2, -4) dilated D2 ◦ T-2,3 .
A’(-8, -2)
Point A (-2, -4) dilated T-2,3 ◦ D2.
A’(-6, -5)
ORDER MATTERS IN DILATION!

43. Practice Problems Find the image after each composition. D2 ◦ T-2,3
Original
D2 ◦ T-2,3
R90 ◦ ry-axis
ry=x◦R180

46. Parallelism “Is parallelism preserved?”
Means: “Are parallel lines in an object still parallel after the object is transformed?”
Slopes of parallel lines are equal.
Use the slope formula to prove this:

47. Example 1
Given: quadrilateral ABCD with vertices A(-1,1), B(4,-2), C(3,-5), and D(-2,-2).
State the coordinates of A'B'C'D', the image of quadrilateral ABCD under a dilation of factor 2.
Prove that A'B'C'D' is a parallelogram.
Dilation of 2:
A’(-2, 2); B’(8, -4); C’(6, -10); D’(-4, -4)

48. Example 1 Continued Prove that A'B'C'D' is a parallelogram.
Opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel.
Find the slopes of A’B’
and D’C’ to show that
they’re equal.
Find the slopes of B’C’
and A’D’ to show that

49. Example 2 The vertices of triangle ABC are A(2,1), B(7,2), and C(3,5).
Identify and graph a transformation of triangle ABC such that its image results in AB||A’B’. C B A
