Exploring Geometric Transformations in Algebra 2

This video tutorial covers Algebra 2 lesson 12-5 on geometric transformations, including translation, rotation, reflection, and dilation. It explains how these transformations change a figure's position, orientation, or size. The tutorial also demonstrates using matrices to perform these transformations, providing examples with coordinates and calculations. The video emphasizes the importance of understanding these concepts for applications in computer graphics and animation.
