TRANSFORMATIONS
To transform means to change in shape (size) and position.
There are three types of transformations which are: Translation, Reflection and Stretch.
[1] TRANSLATION
(i)
: This is translation along the with translation vector or
simply moving units to the right side.
: This is translation along the with translation vector or
simply moving units to the left side.
(ii)
: This is translation along the with translation vector or
simply moving units downwards.
: This is translation along the with translation vector or
simply moving units upwards.
[2] REFLECTION
(i)
: This is reflection along the
(ii)
: This is reflection along the
[3] STRETCH
(i)
: This is stretch along the with factor or simply divide every
by .

: This is stretch along the with factor or simply multiply every
by .
