1 Translations
 How are translations along the vectors <a,−b> and <−a,b> similar and how are
they different?

Doing the translations are the same process but <a,−b> is in the second quarter of a
graph, and <−a,b> is in the fourth quarter.

 A translation along the vector <a,b> maps points in Quadrant I to points in Quadrant
III. What can you conclude about a and b? Justify your response.

That the translation is going moving a,b downwards and <a,b> will become <-a,-b>

2.2 Reflections
 Do any points in the plane have themselves as images under a reflection? Explain.

Yes, each point along the line of reflection has an image of itself. Every point/line of the
reflection has an image of itself.

 If you are given a figure and its image under a reflection, how can you use paper
folding to find the line of reflection?

If there is space between the image and its reflection, you can measure the distance and
fold in the middle of the distance. For example, if the image and its reflection are 2
centimeters apart, you can fold at 1cm. The bend of the paper would be the reflection line.

2.3 Rotations
 If you are given a figure, a center of rotation, and an angle of rotation, what steps
can you use to draw the image of the figure under the rotation?

First: You Draw a line from the center of rotation, let's call it point X, then you
connect that line to the point A of your figure that you will be rotating. (The figures
points are ABC)
Second: Then, using your angle rotation, we can use 90° for this example, we use
our compass to draw the angle of the direction (either clockwise or anticlockwise
depending according to the direction of rotation) from points A and X to a new point
of your new figure, A1. The distance from the center of ration point “X” to your new
rotation figure will be the same as your original shape.
(Note that the “new figure” still has the same size and angle as the first figure)
Third: Do the same process to all the other points from the first figure (points B and
C). Use the same angle (90°) for the other points and for the distance, measure the
distance for points B and C. make sure to name each new point A1 B1, and C1 so
that it is easier for you to remember the original shape.
Fourth: Repeat this process until your figure rotates back into the original figure that
you started with.
2.4 Investigating Symmetry
 How are the two types of symmetry alike? How are they different?

They are similar because they both demonstrate how a rigid motion will map a figure
into itself. They are different because rotational symmetry is roasted around the center
point. Line symmetry is when there is an imaginary line, and the object can be folded
with both halves matching.
