Rotation: The rotation transformation is where you turn a figure about a given point. The point that the obtated about can be inside the figure or anywhere outside it. The amount of rotation is called the angle of rotation and is measured in degrees. You can rotate shapes or figures on a coordinate grid. Each quadrant differs in degrees when working with rotations. Going clockwise the first quadrant is 90 degrees , the second quadrant is 180 degrees, the third quadrant is 270 degrees, and last but not least the fourth quadrant 360 degrees. When rotating counter clockwise on a coordinate grid the quadrant degrees are the same just in different quadrants. Unless the problem gives you a fixed point to rotate around, when working with coordinate grids, the orgin will be your fixed point. The orgin is written as (0,0) because it is located at the zero point on the x-axis and y-axis. My example of a rotation in the real world is a fan. The blades of the fan rotate about the center of the motor in a 360 degree movement.
Reflection: A reflection is a transformation in which the figure is the mirror image of the other, and is also known as a flip. When reflecting an image, every point is the same distance from the central line on both sides of the line. You can reflect a shape or object in the real world and on coordinate grids. On a coordinate grid you can reflect a shape I've the x- axis or y- axis and into any of the four quadrants on the grid. My example of a reflection in the real world is someone looking into a mirror. The mirror is reflecting the persons face back and the image is the same as the original, which would be the girl looking in to the mirror.
Translation: A translation is a transformation of the plane that slides every point of a figure the same distance in the same direction. A translation is an transformation, where the original figure and the image are congruent. When
