Which transformation moves a figure left, right, up, and down WITHOUT flipping or turning it?

Translation, Reflection, Rotation, or Dilation

Translation

100

Solve the proportion below:


x = 30

2x = 60

or 2 x 5 = 10 so 6 x 5 = 30

100

What was the scale factor used to get from Triangle A to Triangle B?


Scale Factor = 2

4 x 2 = 8

3 x 2 = 6

5 x 2 = 10

100

Find x.


x = 9

3/5 = x/15

5x = 45

or use scale factor of 3

100

The point (1, 2) is reflected over the x-axis. What is the new coordinate?


(1, 2) ---> (1, -2)

(x, y) ---> (x, -y)

200

Which transformation does the figure below represent?

Translation, Reflection, Rotation, or Dilation


Reflection

They are mirror images of each other!

The triangle is FLIPPED across the y-axis

200

Solve the proportion:


x = 3

20x = 60

or 4 x 5 = 20 so what times 5 is 15

200

What scale factor was used to get from Triangle 2 to Triangle 1?

Scale Factor = 4

Sides 2 and 8 line up

2 times what scale factor would make 8?

200

What is the height of the flagpole? 


The flagpole is 51 feet tall.
200

The point (-2, 3) is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. What is the new coordinate?


(-2, 3) ---> (-3, -2)

(x, y) ---> (-y, x)

300

Which transformation (Translation, Reflection, Rotation, or Dilation) was applied to the figure below?


Rotation

The blue figure is TURNED 90 degrees clockwise.

300


x = 10

5(x - 4) = 30

5x - 20 = 30

5x = 50

300

A model of the Eiffel Tower is 2 feet tall. The actual Eiffel Tower is 984 feet tall. What is the scale factor that would be used to enlarge the model to the height of the actual Eiffel Tower?

Scale Factor = 492

2 times what is 984?

or actual height/model height = 984/2

300

Solve for x.


x = 4

3/6 = x/8

6x = 24

or scale factor is 1/2

300

The point (4, 5) is dilated by a scale factor of 4. What is the new coordinate?


(4, 5) ---> (16, 20)

(x, y) ---> (4x, 4y)

400

Translation, Reflection, Rotation, Dilation

Which transformation above does NOT give us a CONGRUENT figure?

Dilation

Dilations create SIMILAR figures.

Similar figures are the same shape, but the size changes!

400

Solve the proportion.


x = -3

4x = 2(x - 3)

4x = 2x - 6

2x = -6

400

What was the scale factor used to get from Triangle B to Triangle C?


Scale Factor = 1/3

12 x 1/3 = 4

15 x 1/3 = 5

9 x 1/3 = 3

400

Solve for x.


x = 7

3/4 = 9/x + 5

36 = 3(x + 5) = 3x + 15 ---> 3x = 21

or scale factor is 3

400

Reflect Point A across the y-axis using the rule: (x, y) ---> (-x, y). What is the new coordinate?


Point A is at (3, -2)

(x, y) ---> (-x, y)

(3, -2) ---> (-3, -2)

500

What transformations happen to get from Triangle ABC to Triangle A''B''C''?


Rotation and Reflection

The triangle is first ROTATED, then it is REFLECTED.

It TURNS 90 degrees counterclockwise, then is FLIPPED over the x-axis

500

Solve the proportion:


x = 9

5(x - 3) = 3(x + 1)

5x - 15 = 3x + 3

2x = 18

500

What was the scale factor applied to the blue triangle to produce the green triangle?


Scale Factor = 2

Short side blue = 2, Short side green = 4

Base blue = 3, Base green = 6

500

These triangles are similar. Solve for x.


x = 8

5x + 2/21 = 7x/28

140x + 56 = 147x

56 = 7x

500

Translate the point (7, 5) UP 3 units and to the LEFT 6 units.


(7, 5) ---> (7 - 6, 5 + 3) ---> (1, 8)

UP means to ADD to the Y-value

LEFT means to SUBTRACT from the X-value
