Two transformations, one after the other

Method
  • Study the graph in which point A is reflected in the line x = 0 to give A', and A' is then reflected in the line y = 0 to give A''.
  • Study the graph in which point B is reflected in the line y = 0 to give B', and B' is then reflected in the line y = 2 to give B''.
  • Study the graph in which point M is rotated about O to give M', and M' is then rotated about O again to give M''.
  • Study the graph in which triangle ABC is translated to A'B'C', and A'B'C' is then translated to A''B''C''.
  • For each graph, answer the questions below and discuss your answers in class.
Discussion
  • For point A: What are the coordinates of A, A' and A''?
  • For point A: Reflection in which line gives A' as the image of A?
  • For point A: Reflection of A' in which line gives A''?
  • For point A: Do the lines of the two reflections intersect each other or not?
  • For point A: Which single transformation takes A to A''?
  • For point B: What are the coordinates of B, B' and B''?
  • For point B: Reflection in which line gives B' as the image of B?
  • For point B: Reflection of B' in which line gives B''?
  • For point B: Are the lines of the two reflections intersecting or parallel?
  • For point B: Which single transformation takes B to B''?
  • For point M: What are the coordinates of M, M' and M''?
  • For point M: About which point, through how many degrees and in which direction is M rotated to give M'?
  • For point M: About which point, through how many degrees and in which direction is M' rotated to give M''?
  • For point M: Which single transformation takes M to M''?
  • For the triangles: What are the coordinates of the vertices of triangles ABC, A'B'C' and A''B''C''?
  • For the triangles: How many units right and how many units up is ABC moved to give A'B'C'?
  • For the triangles: How many units right and how many units down is A'B'C' moved to give A''B''C''?
  • For the triangles: Which single transformation takes ABC to A''B''C''?
