Rigid Transformations
Objective
In this lesson, you will represent transformations on the coordinate plane and specify a
sequence to carry a given figure onto another.
Single Transformations
In a geometric transformation, the preimage is transformed one or more times to
produce an image that has the same corresponding side lengths and angle measures.
of the sides and measures of the angles are preserved , or stay the same.
RIGID TRANSFORMATIONS
Image A′B′C′ is a reflection of point. Image D′E′F′ is a 90° vertically, or both. Preimage
stays the same and the stays the same and the
y -coordinate changes x -coordinate changes
sign. sign.
Across y = x Across y = -x
A: (0,1) C: (2,4)
A’: ( 1 ,0 ) C’: ( 4 ,2 )
B: (4,1) D: (2,2) 1 ,4
B’: ( ) D’: ( 2 ,2 )
• order of the coordinates switches • order of the coordinates stays the same
• the new x -coordinates change sign exactly the same as the preimage, so the
Question
Which transformations can produce quadrilateral A′B′C′D′
from quadrilateral ABCD?
B: ( 2 ,1 ) D: ( 1 ,3 ) B’: ( -2 , -1 ) D’: ( -1 , -3 )
For each pair of coordinates, the order of the coordinates was the same, but both coordinates
changed sign: (x’,y’) = ( -x , -y ). So quadrilateral ABCD has been rotated 180 ° clockwise
When a is positive, the preimage translates When b is positive, the preimage translates
up . When a is negative, the preimage
right . When b is negative, the
Question
Sequences of Transformations
We can perform multiple rigid transformations to produce a congruent image. Since
the order in which the transformations are performed matters , we call multiple
SEQUENCE ORDER
The order of the transformations in a sequence affects what the image looks like.
1. Translate 2 units up .
2. Rotate 90° counterclockwise
about the origin.
1. Rotate 90 ° counterclockwise
about the origin.
2. Translate 2 units up.
Even though both sequences include the exact same transformations, their images result in
different location .
Question
Triangle DEF is reflected across the line and then translated 3 units right. Which figure is the
resulting image? Select the correct figure on the graph.
