Lesson 5

Describing Transformations

Problem 1

Here is Trapezoid A in the coordinate plane:

Trapezoid \(A\) on a coordinate plane, origin \(O\) . Horizontal and vertical axis scale negative 5 to 5 by 1’s. Trapezoid \(A\) has coordinates (2 comma 1), (2 comma 3), (4 comma 4) and (4 comma 1).
  1. Draw Polygon B, the image of A, using the y-axis as the line of reflection.
  2. Draw Polygon C, the image of B, using the x-axis as the line of reflection.
  3. Draw Polygon D, the image of C, using the x-axis as the line of reflection.

Problem 4

Here is quadrilateral ABCD.

Quadrilateral A B C D. A B, A D and D C all have negative slopes. B C has a positive slope. A B C D has no parallel sides and no right angles.

 

Draw the image of quadrilateral ABCD after each transformation.

  1. The translation that takes B to D.
  2. The reflection over segment BC.
  3. The rotation about point A by angle DAB, counterclockwise.
