9.1, 9.2, & 9.3: Transformations -Translations, Reflections, & Rotations
Translations
Translation: a “slide” that moves a point a certain distance in a
certain direction
( x, y )  ( x  a , y  b )
Ex1) Find the image of the point
B(3, -4) after being translated left
5 and up 7.
Translations
Ex2) Given the transformation below, describe the translation.
X (2,1)  X ' (0,4)
Ex3) Write a rule to describe the
translation PQRS
P’Q’R’S’
Reflections
Reflection: a “flip” across a specified line
Ex4) Find the image of L(-2, 5) after
being reflected across the y-axis.
Reflections
Ex5) Given the transformation below,
what line is the point reflected across?
Y (3,3)  Y ' (5,3)
Ex6) Given the points R(-2,-1), A(1,-3),
D(-2,-3), draw ΔRAD and its reflection
image across the line y = -x + 2.
Rotations
Rotation: a “turn” of a certain angle about a point called the center
of rotation
*Unless stated otherwise, rotations are counterclockwise
Ex7) Find the image of P(-2,-2)
after being rotated 180° about the
origin.
Rotations
Ex8) Find the image of Z(1,-4) after
being rotated 270° about the
origin.
Ex9) Given the points X(0,-1), Y(1,2),
Z(4,1), draw ΔXYZ and its rotation of
90° about the origin.
Transformations
Ex 10) Use P(-5,3) as the preimage for each of the following
transformations:

to the right, reflected across x = 0, and then rotated 180°
about the origin.
