Symmetry

Triangle ABC has the coordinates A (5, 5), B (1, 3) and C (2, 1). Write a series of transformations that will map triangle ABC onto triangle DEF, whose coordinates are D (0, -5), E (-4, -3) and F (-3, -1).
1. Reflect over the x - axis 2. Translate 5 units left
100
Line segment BC has the coordinates B (-2, 3) and C (-4, -3). What are the coordinates of B’C’ after a 90 degree rotation about the origin?
B' (-3, -2) and C' (3, -4)
100
The points A (-1, 2) and B (-3, 2) are reflected over the line X = 2. What are the coordinates of A’ and B’, and, which point “travelled” farther and WHY?
A' (5, 2) and B' (7, 2)... Point B travels farther because the point is initially father away from the line of reflection compared to point A.
100
Name each angle of rotational symmetry, such that the hexagon will map back onto itself.
60 degrees, 120 degrees, 180 degrees, 240 degrees, 300 degrees, and 360 degrees
200
Triangle XYZ has the coordinates X (-7, 2), Y (-7, 4) and Z (-3, 2). Write a series of transformations that will map triangle XYZ onto triangle MNO, whose coordinates are M (5, -3), N (5, -1) and O (1, -3).
1. Reflect over the y-axis 2. Translate down 5 units, and two units 2.
200
Point A, located at (5, 4), is first rotated about the point (3, 1) 90 degrees clockwise. Then, the point is translated according to the following vector: . What’s the location A’’?
(4, -4)
200
Graph the image of BC, whose coordinates are B (4, 0) and C (3, -3), after it’s been reflected over the line y = -2x – 2.
B' (-4, -4) and C' (-1, -5)
200
Draw all the lines of symmetry such that the hexagon maps onto itself.
