TRANSFORMATION

S
IN THE
COORDINATE PLANE

Review:
A

TRANSFORMATION

is . . . .

. . . when a figure or point is moved to a new

position in a coordinate plane. This move may
include a change in size as well as position.

RIGID TRANSFORMATION

is . . .

. . . when the size and shape remain the same but

the figure moves into a new position.

What are four types of

TRANSFORMATIONS?

TRANSLATION(Slide)

ROTATION...(Turn)

REFLECTION..(Flip)

DILATION(Enlarges or Reduces)

Today we will work with

ROTATIONS
Stop and do
Rotation Activity

Once ACTIVITY is complete, we will come back

to the powerpoint and add to our notes.

ROTATION is a movement of a
figure that involves rotating in 90
degree increments around the
origin.
The new prime points will be in the
quadrant that is the given
number of degrees clockwise
or counterclockwise from the
original figure.

The easiest way to find the prime points

for a given rotation is to
apply the rules below:

90

degree

CLOCKWISE:

Coordinates flip and the NEW y changes signs

90

degree

COUNTER-CLOCKWISE:

Coordinates flip and the NEW x changes signs.

180

degree

turn:

Coordinates keep the same order and EACH

one changes to opposite sign of original.

ROTATION EXAMPLE 1:
90 degree clockwise move:
A(5, 6)
B(-3, 8)

A(6, -5)
B(8, 3)

ROTATION EXAMPLE 2:
90 degree counter-clockwise
move:
A(5, 6)
B(-3, 8)

A(-6, 5)
B(-8, -3)

C(9, -7)

C(-7, -9)

C(9, -7)

C(7, 9)

D(-4, -2)

D(-2, 4)

D(-4, -2)

D(2, -4)

ROTATION EXAMPLE 3:
180 degree turn:
A(5, 6)
B(-3, 8)

A(-5, -6)
B(3, -8)

C(9, -7)

C(-9, 7)

D(-4, -2)

D(4, 2)

Quick Questions

If a pre-image begins in quadrant 2 and is

rotated 90 degrees clockwise, which
quadrant contains the image?

An image is located in the 4th quadrant. If

the pre-image is located in the 3rd, how
was it rotated?

A point, (-2, 7) is rotated 180 degrees.

What are its new coordinates?
