Translations

A translation moves a shape without changing its size or orientation; object and image are congruent.
Movement is described by a column vector \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix}: x = horizontal shift (right positive, left negative), y = vertical shift (up positive, down negative).
To translate a shape, move each vertex by the vector and join the new vertices.
To describe a translation, state it is a translation and give the vector (e.g., \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -3 \end{pmatrix}).
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); object and image are congruent.
Each point and its image are equidistant from the mirror line, measured perpendicularly.
Points on the mirror line are invariant (do not move).
Common mirror lines: vertical x = k, horizontal y = k, diagonal y = x or y = -x.
To describe a reflection, state it is a reflection and give the equation of the mirror line.
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; object and image are congruent.
You must specify the centre, angle (90°, 180°, 270°) and direction (clockwise or anticlockwise). For 180° direction is not needed.
Use tracing paper: draw the shape, place pencil on centre, rotate by the given angle, then draw the image.
To find the centre of rotation for 90° or 270°, use trial and error with tracing paper. For 180°, draw lines connecting corresponding vertices; they intersect at the centre.
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) about a centre of enlargement (CoE).
If SF > 1, image is larger; if 0 < SF < 1, image is smaller (fractional enlargement).
For a positive SF, measure horizontal and vertical distances from CoE to a vertex, multiply by SF, and count from CoE to find the image vertex.
For a negative SF, the image is rotated 180° and lies on the opposite side of the CoE; distances are multiplied by |SF|.
To describe an enlargement, state it is an enlargement, give the SF and the coordinates of the CoE.
To reverse an enlargement, use the reciprocal SF with the same CoE (sign stays for negative SF).
Area scale factor = (linear SF)²; multiply original area by this to find image area.

Describing an enlargement

Combined Transformations

When two or more transformations are applied sequentially, the final image can often be described by a single transformation.
To find the single transformation, consider the net effect on position, orientation and size.
Common combinations: rotation + translation can sometimes be a single rotation about a different centre; two reflections can be a rotation or translation.

## Transformations (IGCSE Maths Extended) ### Key Concepts - **Object**: original shape; **Image**: transformed shape (vertices labelled A', B', etc.) - Four types: **translation**, **reflection**, **rotation**, **enlargement** ### Translations - Moves shape without changing size/orientation; object and image are **congruent**. - Described by a column vector \(\begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix}\): - \(x\): horizontal (+ right, – left) - \(y\): vertical (+ up, – down) - **To describe**: state "translation" + vector. - **Reverse**: change signs of both components. ### Reflections - Flips shape across a **mirror line** (line of reflection). - Perpendicular distances from mirror line are equal; points on line are **invariant**. - Mirror lines: vertical \(x = k\), horizontal \(y = k\), diagonal \(y = x\) or \(y = -x\). - **To describe**: state "reflection" + equation of mirror line. - **Reverse**: same reflection again. ### Rotations - Turns shape about a **centre of rotation** by a given angle and direction. - Angles: 90°, 180°, 270°; direction: clockwise or anti-clockwise (omit for 180°). - Use tracing paper: draw arrow up, rotate, check orientation. - **To describe**: state "rotation", centre, angle, direction. - **Reverse**: opposite direction, same centre and angle. ### Enlargements - Changes size by **scale factor** (sf): - \(|sf| > 1\): larger - \(0 < |sf| < 1\): smaller - Negative sf: also rotates 180° (image on opposite side of centre). - **Centre of enlargement (CoE)** determines position. - **Area scale factor** = \((\text{length sf})^2\). - **To describe**: state "enlargement", sf, CoE coordinates. - **Reverse**: sf becomes reciprocal (keep sign), same CoE. ### Common Errors - Translation vector is the movement, not the gap between shapes. - For reflection, don't confuse \(x = k\) (vertical) with \(y = k\) (horizontal). - For negative enlargement, count distances on opposite side of CoE. ### Quick Tips - Use tracing paper for rotations and to find centres. - For enlargement, draw lines from CoE through vertices to check. - Always label images clearly (e.g., A', B').

Translation: A transformation that moves every point of a shape by the same distance in the same direction, described by a column vector.
Reflection: A transformation that flips a shape across a line (mirror line), producing a mirror image.
Rotation: A transformation that turns a shape about a fixed point (centre of rotation) by a given angle and direction.
Enlargement: A transformation that changes the size of a shape by a scale factor, with respect to a centre of enlargement.
Scale factor: The multiplier applied to distances from the centre of enlargement; determines size change. Negative values also rotate the shape 180°.
Centre of enlargement: The fixed point from which distances are measured in an enlargement; lines through corresponding vertices meet here.
Invariant point: A point that does not move during a transformation (e.g., points on the mirror line in a reflection, or the centre of rotation).
Object: The original shape before a transformation.
Image: The shape after a transformation; vertices are often labelled with primes (e.g., A').
