PROPERTIES OF
TRANSLATIONS
VOCABULARY
A transformation is a function that describes a change in the position, size, or shape of a
figure.
The input of a transformation is the preimage, and the output of a transformation is the image.

9.2 PROPERTIES OF
REFLECTIONS
VOCABULARY
A reflection is a transformation that flips a figure across a line.
The line is called the line of reflection.
Each point and its image are the same distance from the line of reflection.
Graph quadrilateral WXYZ with vertices W(-2,-2), X(3,1), Y(5,-1), and Z(4,-6) on a coordinate
plane. Graph the reflection of the quadrilateral across the x-axis.

9.3 PROPERTIES OF
ROTATIONS
VOCABULARY
A rotation is a transformation that turns a figure around a given point called the center of
rotation.
The center of rotation is generally the origin.
The image has the same size and shape as the preimage.
Rotations generally go clockwise but can go counterclockwise. The directions will tell you.
If the directions don’t tell you then assume clockwise.

Up b units Add b to the y-coordinate: (x,y)→(x,y+b)
Down b units Subtract b from the y-coordinate: (x,y)→(x,y-b)

90º clockwise Multiply each x-coordinate by -1; then switch the x- and y- coordinates: (x,y) →
(y,-x)
90º counterclockwise Multiply each y-coordinate by -1; then switch the x- and y-coordinates: (x,y) →(-
y,x)
180º Multiply both coordinates by -1: (x,y) →(-x,-y)

DILATION
VOCABULARY
A dilation is a transformation that produces an image that is similar to the pre-image. It is the
same shape, but a different size, either larger or smaller.
The scale factor determines the size. It is the ratio of the side length of the image to the corresponding
side length of the pre-image.
If the scale factor is greater than 1, the dilation is an enlargement.
If the scale factor is less than 1, the dilation is a reduction.
If the scale factor is equal to 1, the image is congruent to the pre-image, and the dilation is called an
identity transformation.
HOW DO WE DILATE A SHAPE?
All we do is take the scale factor and multiply both the x and y coordinates.
So if we had a square ABCD with vertices at A(0,0), B(4,0), C(4,4), and D(0,4) and we want
to dilate it with a scale factor of 2, all we have to do is multiply both x and y from all the
points by 2.
