Transformations on the Coordinate Plane

Transformations on the Coordinate Plane

Transformations

Changing the location, orientation or size of a figure

There are four types of transformations:

• Translation - Moving (Our focus for today)

• Rotation - Turning

• Reflection - Flipping

• Dilation - Changing size

Notations of Translations

• The three ways you can see it written for a problem:

• Words: One to the left, 3 up

• Coordinates: (x, y) -> (x - 1, y + 3)

• Subscript Notation: T_(-1,3)

How to figure out the translation rule:

• Locate the original point (A)

• Locate the new point (A')

• Count the horizontal change (+5)

• Count the vertical change (-3)

• 5 right, 3 down

• (x, y) -> (x + 5, y - 3)

• T_{(5, 3)}

You try some!

Multiple Choice

Click on the image to make it larger. Then determine the transformation that has occurred on this graph.

• A) translation: 2 units left and 5 units down

• B) translation: 1 unit left

• C) translation: 4 units down

• D) translation: 4 units left and 1 unit down

Multiple Choice

Click on the image to make it larger. Then determine the transformation that has occurred on this graph.

• A) translation: 7 units left and 6 units up

• B) translation: 4 units left and 7 units up

• C) translation: 1 unit left and 8 units up

• D) translation: 7 units left and 3 units up

Finding the new point after a translation:

• Graphically:

• Follow the rule on the graph and read the new coordinate values

• Algebraically:

• Right add to x, left subtract from x

• Up add to y, down subtract from y
