Types of Transformations
Reflections: These are like mirror images as seen across a line or
a point.

Reflections
You can reflect a figure using a line or a point. All measures (lines
and angles) are preserved but in a mirror image.

Reflection across the x-axis: the x values stay the same and the
y values change sign. (x , y) (x, -y)
Reflection across the y-axis: the y values stay the same and the
x values change sign. (x , y) (-x, y)

Rotations
It is a type of transformation where the object is rotated around a fixed
point called the point of rotation.

Angles of Rotation . .
Since the angle formed by the lines is 35°, the angle of rotation is
70°.
1. Draw AXK so that its measure is 70° and AX = XK.
2. Draw BXR to measure 70° and BX = XR.
3. Connect K to R to form the rotation image of segment AB.

Dilations
A dilation is a transformation which changes the size of a figure
but not its shape. This is called a similarity transformation.
Since a dilation changes figures proportionately, it has a scale
factor k.
• If the absolute value of k is greater than 1, the dilation is an
enlargement.
• If the absolute value of k is between 0 and 1, the dilation is a
reduction.
• If the absolute value of k is equal to 0, the dilation is
congruence transformation. (No size change occurs.)

In the figure, the center is C. The distance from C to E is three times the distance
from C to A. The distance from C to F is three times the distance from C to B.
This shows a transformation of segment AB with center C and a scale factor of
3 to the enlarged segment EF. E

In this figure, the distance from C to R is ½ the distance from C to A. The
distance from C to W is ½ the distance from C to B. This is a transformation of
segment AB with center C and a scale factor of ½ to the reduced segment RW.

Dilations – examples…
Find the measure of the dilation image of segment AB, 6 units long,
with a scale factor of
1. S.F. = -4: the dilation image will be an enlargment since the
absolute value of the scale factor is greater than 1. The image will
be 24 units long.
2. S.F. = 2/3: since the scale factor is between 0 and 1, the image
will be a reduction. The image will be 2/3 times 6 or 4 units
long.
