*Three Types of Transformations: Translation –

Congruence Transformation –

Translate A Figure In The Coordinate Plane –

*Coordinate Notation for a Translation You can describe a translation by the notation (x, y)  (x  a, y  b) which shows that each point (x, y) of a figure is translated horizontally a units and vertically b units

Ex. Figure ABCD has the vertices A(4,2), B(2,5), C(1,1), and D(3,1) . Sketch ABCD and its image after the translation (x, y)  (x  5, y  2) . Reflect A Figure In The Coordinate Plane – The line of reflection is always the x-axis or the y-axis. y *Coordinate Notation for a Reflection

Reflection in the x-axis: (x, y)  (x, y) Multiply the y-coordinate by -1.

Reflection in the y-axis: (x, y)  (x, y) Multiply the x-coordinate by -1. x

Ex. Use a reflection in the x-axis to draw the other half of the figure.

Rotate A Figure In The Coordinate Plane – The center of rotation is the origin.

The direction of rotation can be either clockwise or counterclockwise. The angle of rotation is formed by rays drawn from the center of rotation through corresponding points on the original figure and its image.

90 0 clockwise rotation 60 0 counterclockwise rotation

y Ex. Graph PQ and RS . Tell whether RS is a rotation of PQ about the origin. If so, give the angle and direction of rotation. a) P(2,6), Q(5,1), R(6,1), S(1, 2) x

b) P(4,2), Q(3,3), R(2,4), S(3,3)
