Lektionsnotizen
Translations
- A translation moves a shape without changing its size or orientation; the object and image are congruent.
- Movement is described by a column vector \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} where x is horizontal (right positive, left negative) and y is vertical (up positive, down negative).
- To translate a shape, move each vertex by the vector and join the new vertices.
- To describe a translation, state 'translation' and give the vector.
- To reverse a translation, use the same vector with both signs changed.
The object shape and its image after a translation
Reflections
- A reflection flips a shape across a mirror line (line of reflection); the image is congruent and the same distance from the line as the object.
- Points on the mirror line are invariant (do not move).
- To reflect a shape, measure perpendicular distance from each vertex to the mirror line and plot the same distance on the opposite side.
- To describe a reflection, state 'reflection' and give the equation of the mirror line (e.g., x = k, y = k, y = x, y = -x).
- To reverse a reflection, apply the same reflection again.
Reflecting a shape in a mirror line
Rotations
- A rotation turns a shape about a fixed centre of rotation; the image is congruent.
- You need the centre, angle (90°, 180°, 270°), and direction (clockwise or anti-clockwise). For 180°, direction is not needed.
- To rotate a shape, use tracing paper: trace the shape, place pencil on centre, rotate by the angle, and draw the image.
- To describe a rotation, state 'rotation', centre, angle, and direction.
- To reverse a rotation, rotate by the same angle in the opposite direction about the same centre.
Clockwise and anticlockwise rotation
Enlargements
- An enlargement changes the size of a shape by a scale factor (SF) from a centre of enlargement (CoE).
- If SF > 1, the image is larger; if 0 < SF < 1, the image is smaller (fractional enlargement).
- To enlarge a shape, multiply horizontal and vertical distances from CoE to each vertex by SF, then plot the new vertices.
- To describe an enlargement, state 'enlargement', SF, and CoE coordinates.
- To reverse an enlargement, use the reciprocal SF with the same CoE.
Describing an enlargement
Combined Transformations & Describing Fully
- A single transformation maps one shape to another; you must state the type and all required details (vector, mirror line, centre/angle/direction, or SF and CoE).
- When describing, always include: type of transformation, and the specific parameters (e.g., 'translation by vector \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ -2 \end{pmatrix}').
- Use tracing paper to check rotations and reflections; draw lines from CoE through vertices to verify enlargements.
