Study Notes
Transformation Rules
- Rotation 90 degrees CCW about the origin: Transforms point (x,y) to (-y,x).
- Rotation 180 degrees about the origin: Transforms point (x,y) to (-x,-y).
- Rotation 270 degrees CCW about the origin: Transforms point (x,y) to (y,-x).
- Rotation 90 degrees CW about the origin: Transforms point (x,y) to (y,-x) (same result as 270 degrees CCW).
Translation and Reflection
- Translation: Moves point (x,y) to (x+a,y+b), denoting a shift along the axes based on values a and b.
- Reflection over the x-axis: Transforms point (x,y) to (x,-y), flipping it vertically.
- Reflection over the y-axis: Transforms point (x,y) to (-x,y), flipping it horizontally.
- Reflection over y = x: Transforms point (x,y) to (y,x), swapping coordinates.
- Reflection over y = -x: Transforms point (x,y) to (-y,-x), flipping coordinates diagonally.
Dilation and Image Properties
- Dilation by scale factor a: Transforms point (x,y) to (ax,ay), modifying distances from the center by the scale factor.
- If a > 1: The figure enlarges, increasing in size.
- If a < 1: The figure reduces in size.
Basics of Transformations
- Transformation: General mapping of all points of a figure in a plane based on a common operation.
- Reflection: A flip over a particular line to create a mirror image.
- Rotation: Turning a figure about a fixed point through a specified angle and direction.
- Angle of Rotation: The degree of rotation around a fixed point.
Congruence and Similarity
- Congruent Figures: Identical in size and shape, map directly onto each other.
- Similar Figures: Identical shape but different sizes; corresponding angles are congruent, and sides are proportional.
- Scale Factor: The proportional relationship between corresponding lengths of two similar figures.
- Corresponding Lengths: Sides in similar figures that maintain the same relative positions.
- Corresponding Angles: Angles sharing the same relative position in geometric figures.
Preimage and Isometry
- Preimage: The original figure before any transformation occurs.
- Isometry: A transformation preserving both size and shape, resulting in congruent figures; often referred to as rigid transformations.
