Transformation matrices graph the image
What you'll learn
- Apply 2x2 transformation matrices (including reflection, rotation, dilation, and shear) to given geometric figures represented as coordinate matrices and accurately determine the coordinates of the transformed image.
- Solve for the matrix representation of a single transformation given the coordinates of a pre-image and its corresponding image, demonstrating proficiency in matrix algebra and inverse operations.
- Explain the geometric effect of specific 2x2 transformation matrices on the orientation, size, and shape of geometric figures, using precise mathematical vocabulary to justify observations.
- Identify the transformation matrix that corresponds to a given geometric transformation (e.g., rotation by 90 degrees, reflection across the y-axis) with 100% accuracy.

Introduction & Learning Objectives
Learning Objectives
Identify the original shape (pre-image) and the transformed shape (image) on a coordinate plane.
Understand that a 'transformation matrix rule' provides specific instructions for changing coordinates.
Apply transformation matrix rules (like translation and reflection) to find the new coordinates of points.
Plot the new coordinates to accurately graph the image of a shape after a transformation.
Describe the type of transformation (e.g., translation, reflection) given a set of coordinate changes.
Connect transformation rules to two-variable equations that describe how coordinates change.

Key Concepts & Vocabulary
TermDefinitionExample
Coordinate PlaneA flat surface made up of two perpendicular number lines, the x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical), used to locate points with ordered pairs.Plotting the point (3, 2) means moving 3 units right from the origin and 2 units up.
Point (x, y)An ordered pair of numbers that shows the exact location of a point on the coordinate plane. The first number is the x-coordinate, and the second is the y-coordinate.The point (5, -1) is 5 units to the right of the y-axis and 1 unit below the x-axis.
TransformationA mathematical process that moves or changes a geometric shape's position or orientation on a coordinate plane without changing its size or shape.Sliding a square to a new spot on the graph is a type of transformation called a translation.

Core Formulas
Translation Matrix Rule (Slide)
$(x, y) \rightarrow (x + a, y + b)$
This rule, derived from a translation matrix, tells you to add 'a' to the x-coordinate and 'b' to the y-coordinate to slide the point. 'a' is the horizontal shift (right if positive, left if negative), and 'b' is the vertical shift (up if positive, down if negative). These are two-variable equations: $x' = x + a$ and $y' = y + b$.
Reflection Matrix Rule (Flip across x-axis)
$(x, y) \rightarrow (x, -y)$
This rule, derived from a reflection matrix, tells you to keep the x-coordinate the same and change the sign of the y-coordinate. This flips the point over the x-axis. The two-variable equations are: $x' = x$ and $y' = -y$.
