Study Notes
Geometric Transformations
- Reflections in Intersecting Lines: Composite transformation linked to rotation about the intersection point and twice the acute or right angle formed by the lines.
- Reflection in a Line: Maps points to their image where the line acts as a perpendicular bisector for points not on the line, ensuring the point on the line remains unchanged.
- Reflection in the x-axis: Achieved by multiplying the y-coordinate of a point by -1.
- Reflection in Line y=x: Accomplished by interchanging the x- and y-coordinates of a point.
- Reflection in the y-axis: Involves multiplying the x-coordinate of a point by -1.
Translations and Rotations
- Translation: Maps each point along a given vector, effectively shifting the position of the figure without altering its orientation.
- Translation in the Coordinate Plane: For a vector ⟨a, b⟩, a point is translated by adding 'a' to the x-coordinate and 'b' to the y-coordinate.
- Rotation: Centers around a fixed point; if the point coincides with the center, it remains unchanged. Other points maintain a constant distance and specified angle from the center.
- Angle of Rotation: The degree measurement of the rotation about a fixed point.
- 90° Rotation in Coordinate Plane: Counterclockwise rotation achieved by multiplying the y-coordinate by -1 and then swapping x and y coordinates.
- 180° Rotation in Coordinate Plane: Involves multiplying both x and y coordinates by -1.
- 270° Rotation in Coordinate Plane: Accomplished by multiplying the x-coordinate by -1 first, then swapping x and y coordinates.
Symmetry
- Glide Reflection: A combination of translation followed by reflection in a line parallel to the translation vector.
- Composition of Isometries: Combines two or more isometric transformations that preserve distances and angles.
- Line Symmetry: Indicates a figure can match itself via a reflection across a specific line.
- Line of Symmetry: Divides a figure into two mirrored halves; can be vertical, horizontal, or diagonal.
- Rotational Symmetry: Describes a scenario where a figure maps to itself through rotation anywhere from 0° to 360° about its center.
- Center of Rotational Symmetry: The point around which a figure rotates symmetrically.
- Plane Symmetry: Achieved if a figure can reflect itself across a plane.
- Axis Symmetry: Indicates a figure's ability to map to itself through a rotation along a line.
