Lecture on Transformations

Types of Transformations

• Translations
• Reflections
• Rotations

Translations

• Moving a shape along the coordinate plane without changing its orientation or size.
• Translation Steps:
  • Change in x-coordinate: Right (+), Left (-)
  • Change in y-coordinate: Up (+), Down (-)
• Example:
  • Translation 5 units right and 4 units down changes each point by: (x+5, y-4)
• Quadrant Movement:
  • Understand how translations move figures between quadrants.

Reflections

• Types of Reflections:
  • Over the x-axis: Multiply y-coordinate by -1. (Result: (x, -y))
  • Over the y-axis: Multiply x-coordinate by -1. (Result: (-x, y))
  • Over the origin: Multiply both coordinates by -1. (Result: (-x, -y))
• Quadrants Review:
  • Quadrant 1: Positive x and y
  • Quadrant 2: Negative x and Positive y
  • Quadrant 3: Negative x and y
  • Quadrant 4: Positive x and Negative y
• Example of Reflection Over X-axis:
  • Changes a point (x, y) to (x, -y)
• Example of Reflection Over Y-axis:
  • Changes a point (x, y) to (-x, y)

Rotations

• Types of Rotations:
  • 90 degrees clockwise: Switch coordinates and multiply the new second coordinate by -1. (Result: (y, -x))
  • 90 degrees counterclockwise: Switch coordinates and multiply the new first coordinate by -1. (Result: (-y, x))
  • 180 degrees (same either direction): Multiply both coordinates by -1. (Result: (-x, -y))
• Example of 90 Degrees Clockwise Rotation:
  • From (x, y) to (y, -x)
• Example of 90 Degrees Counterclockwise Rotation:
  • From (x, y) to (-y, x)
