Rotation Transformation: Example 2 Reflections Note the pattern in the coordinates for corresponding vertices on the triangles.

Look at the four triangles on the Cartesian plane below. Note: Make sure your child knows that the origin is the intersection of the X and Y axes (0,0) on the Cartesian plane. This section will show your child how to rotate a figure about the origin on a Cartesian plane. Add 6 to the X coordinates and subtract 2 (or add -2) from the Y coordinates.Task: Translate ΔABC with a vector translation of (6,-2) Do not look at the answer until he or she has tried to work it through the task. We will try a different vector translation of (3,-9) on the same red square You can see that the translation did not move the figure far because the vector translation is small. What are the coordinate pairs under a translation vector of (1,-1) as shown by the blue square? Work through the two examples below with your child to see how to apply translation vectors. You add or subtract according to the signs in the numbers in the vector. So if one point on a figure has coordinates of (-3,3) and the translation vector is (-1,3), the new coordinate is (-4,6). You translate a figure according to the numbers indicated by the vector. This vector can be said to be ray AB or vector D. Vectors translations can be written as shown in either of these two ways: Vectors in the Cartesian plane can be written (x,y) which means a translation of x units horizontally and y units vertically. Translation VectorĪ Translation Vector is a vector that gives the length and direction of a particular translation. Figure S is translated.Ī figure is a translation if it is moved without rotation. It will also introduce translation vectors which show the distance and direction of the translation.įigure J is the pre-image. This section will help your child to translate congruent figures on a Cartesian plane. If you have not already done so, you may wish to review this congruency lesson with your child. Make sure your child is familiar with the Cartesian coordinate system including the horizontal x-axis, the vertical y-axis, and the (x,y) convention used for locating points. This means that the transformation does not change the figure’s size or shape. Isometry: An isometry is a transformation that maintains congruency. reflections on coordinates in a Cartesian plane.rotations on coordinates in a Cartesian plane.translations on coordinates in a Cartesian plane. Learning Takeaways: After this lesson, students will be able to understand the effects of: Working through the lesson below will help your child to understand the effects of transformations (translations, rotations and reflections) on coordinates in a Cartesian plane.
