Transformations- NOTES

Tip: Watch BellaMaths, or other YT videos if unable to understand.

1. Translation

This is just "sliding" the shape.

 Must include: The word Translation.

 Must include: A Column Vector

o Top number (x): Change in X; Right (+) or Left (-).

o Bottom number (y): Change in y; Up (+) or Down (-)

o From the object, just move in steps according to the vector to get coordinates of
image

2. Reflection

Think of this as a mirror image.

 Must include: The word Reflection.


 Must include: The Equation of the mirror line (e.g. x=2, y=3)
o Tip: The x axis is the line y = 0. The y-axis is the line x = 0.
o Tip: Flip your page to say shapes straight if they are slant
o To find mirror line: Take one corresponding point on obj and image, e.g. R and R’.
Using a compass-Construct 2 arcs from R, on both sides. Construct 2 arcs for R’
on both sides. Draw a straight line through the intersecting arcs Line of
reflection
o When reflecting across a line, e.g. y=1; Draw the line, and make sure that the
corresponding points are equidistant from the line of reflection.

3. Rotation

Turning the shape around a "pin" point.

 Must include: The word Rotation.

 Must include: The Angle and Direction (90 degrees Clockwise, 90 Anti-clockwise, or
180)

 Must include: The Center of Rotation as a coordinate (x,y)

o To rotate, use tracing paper


o To find center of rotation: Use trial and error- Trace the obj., and try to map it
onto image to find center.

4. Enlargement

Making the shape bigger or smaller.

 Must include: The word Enlargement.

 Must include: The Scale Factor (k).

o If k = 2, it's twice as big.

o If k = 1/2 it's half the size (but still called an enlargement!).

o If k is negative, the shape flips to the opposite side of the center (opposite side
of shape)

 Must include: The Center of Enlargement (x, y).

o To find center of enlargement- Draw lines passing through corresponding point


from the object to the image. Where all those points intersect is the center of
enlargement.

o When center of enlargement, scale factor is given, and you need to draw the
image, then: Count steps of object points to center, multiply this by scale factor
(e.g. -2), move those steps FROM CENTER TO VERTICES NOT VICE VERSA. Move
those steps in opposite direction from center).
