Combining Transformations

1. Shape A is reflected across the line y = x to give its image A ′ .A′ is

rotated 90° about the origin to give the image A′′.

2.Lines of reflection m1 and m2 are parallel.

Reflect shape A across m1 to produce the image A′.Then reflect shape A′ across m2 to produce
the image A′′.

3.Lines of reflection m1 and m2 are perpendicular.
Reflect shape A across m1 to produce the image A ′ .Then reflect shape A ′ across m2 to
produce the image A′′.

4.Translate shape A by the vector -6,2 ,get it’s image A’.Then translate A′by the vector -1,-7
to give A′′.

3.Enlarge shape R about the point (-2, 1) with scale factor 3,the image is R’.
R’’ is also an enlargement of shape R. Can you work out the scale factor and find the
centre of enlargement?
