GEOMETRY TRANSFORMATION
1.​ ​TRANSLATION
In other words, translation is a transformation that moves each point on the plane with a certain
distance and direction.
Formula
example.
Given the triangle OAB with the coordinates of the points O (0,0), A (3,0) and B (3,5).
Determine the image coordinates of the OAB triangle if translated by T = (1, 3).
Answer ;
Example.
The image point of circle x^2 + y^2 = 25 by translation T= (-1, 3) is …
Answer ;
Because of translation T = (-1, 3) then ,
x’ = x – 1 →​ x = x’ + 1.​….(1)
y’ = y + 3 →​ y = y’ – 3​…..(2)
(1) and (2) substitute to x^2 + y^2 = 25
obtained
(x’ + 1)^2 + (y’ – 3)^2 = 25;
So the image point is:
(x + 1)^2 + (y – 3)^2 = 25

2. REFLECTION
Reflection is a transformation that moves any point on a shape to a point that is symmetrical to
the original point on the axis of the reflection.
In plane geometry, in reflection is used
a. X axis
b. Y axis
c. x = m
d. y = n
e. y = x
f. y = -x
g. Center point O (0,0)
Explains :
a. Reflection across the x axis
Based on this figure, if the image of the point P (x, y) is P '(x', y ') then P' (x ', y') = P '(x, -y) so
that the matrix form can be written as follows :
x '= x
y '= -y
So is the matrix reflection about the x-axis.
Example.
1. Given the triangle ABC with the coordinates of points A (2,0), B (0, -5) and C (-3.1).
Determine the image coordinates of the ABC triangle if reflection about the x-axis.
2. The image coordinate line 3x - 2y + 5 = 0 by reflection about the x axis is?
Answers.
1. reflection about the x-axis.
P(x,y) -> P’(x, -y)
A(2,0) -> A’(2,0)
B(0,-5) -> B’ (0,5)
C(-3,1) -> C’ (-3,-1)
2. by reflection about the X axis
then: x'= x -> x = x'
y'= -y -> y = -y'
x = x' and y = -y' substituted for the line 3x - 2y + 5 = 0, we get:
3x'- 2 (-y') + 5 = 0
3x' + 2y' + 5 = 0
So the image coordinate is 3x + 2y + 5 = 0
​b. Reflection across the y axis
Based on the figure, if the image of the point P (x, y) is P '(x', y ') then P' (x ', y') = P '(- x, y), so
that in matrix form it can be written as the following:
x '= -x
y '= y
So is the matrix reflection about the y-axis.
Example.
1. Find the image of coordinates for y = x^2 - x curve by the reflection on the Y axis.
Answer.
1. by the reflection on the Y axis then: x '= -x → x = -x' ; y '= y → y = y ’
x = -x 'and y = y' are substituted for y = x^2 - x
obtained: y '= (-x') 2 - (-x ')
y '= (x') 2 + x'
So the image is y = x^2 + x
C. ​Reflection across the line x = m
Based on the figure, if the image of the point P (x, y) is P'(x', y') then​ P' (x', y') = P'(2m-x, y).
Example.
Find the image of the curve y^2 = x - 5 by the reflection on the line x = 3.
Answer:
by reflection on the line x = 3
then: x '= 2m - x → x = 2.3 - x' = 6 –x '
y '= y → y = y ’
x = 6 - x 'and y = y' are substituted for y^2 = x - 5
obtained: (y ') 2 = (6 - x') - 5
(y ') 2 = 1 - x'
So the image is y^2 = 1 - x
D. ​Reflection across the line y = n
Based on the picture above, if the image of the point P (x, y) is P '(x', y ') then P' (x ', y') =
P '(x, 2n-y).
Example.
Find the image of the curve x^2 + y^2 = 4 by the reflection on the line y = -3.
Answer:
by reflection on the line y = - 3 then:
x '= x
y '= 2n - y
reflection of the line y = - 3
then: x '= x -> x = x'
y '= 2n - y
y '= 2 (-3) - y
y '= - 6 - y -> y = -y' - 6
substituted for x^2 + y^2 = 4
(x ')^2 + (-y' - 6)^2 = 4
(x ')^2 + ((- y')^2 + 12y'+ 36) - 4 = 0
So the image:
x^2 + y^2 + 12y + 32 = 0
e. ​ ​Reflection on the line y = x
Based on the picture above, if the image of P (x, y) is P '(x', y ') then P' (x', y') = P '(y, x), so the
matrix form can be written as follows:
x '= y
y’ = x
So is the reflection matrix with respect to the line y = x.
Ex.
The line image 2x - y + 5 = 0 which is reflected on the line y = x is….
Answer:
The reflection transformation matrix with respect to y = x is x '= y
y’ = x
So that x '= y and y' = x
substituted for 2x - y + 5 = 0
obtained: 2y '- x' + 5 = 0
-x '+ 2y' + 5 = 0
-x '+ 2y' + 5 = 0
multiplied (-1) → x '- 2y' - 5 = 0
So the image is
x - 2y - 5 = 0
F. ​Reflection on the line y = -x
Based on the picture above, if the image of P (x, y) is P '(x', y ') then P' (x ', y') = P '(- y, -x), so
that in matrix form it can be written as following:
x '= -y
y '= -x
So is the reflection matrix with respect to the line y = -x.
Ex.
The image of the circle equation x^2 + y^2 - 8y + 7 = 0 which is reflected on the line y = -x is….
Answer:
x '= -y and y' = -x or y = -x 'and x = -y'
Then substituted to
x^2 + y^2 - 8y + 7 = 0
(-y ')^ 2 + (-x)^2 - 8 (-x) + 7 = 0
(y ')^2 + (x')^2 + 8x + 7 = 0
(x ')^2 + (y')^2 + 8x + 7 = 0
So the image is
X^2 + y^2 + 8x + 7 = 0
3. ​ROTATION
is a cycle. Rotation is determined by the center of rotation and the angle of rotation.
Center Rotation O (0,0)
Point P (x, y) is rotated a counterclockwise to center and the image P' (x', y') is obtained
then: x ' = x cos a - y sin a
y ' = x sin a + y cos a
If the angle of rotation a = ½π (the rotation is denoted by R ½ π)
then x '= - y and y' = x
in the form of a matrix:
So R ½π =
Example.
1. The image equation for the line x + y = 6 after being rotated at the base of the
coordinates with the angle of rotation 90 degree, is….
Answer:
R + 90 means: x '= -y → y = -x'
y '= x → x = y'
substituted for: x + y = 6
y'+ (-x') = 6
y'- x' = 6 → x '- y' = -6
So the image: ​x - y = -6
2. The line image equation 2x - y + 6 = 0 after being rotated at the base of the coordinates
with a rotation angle of -90, is ..
Answer:
R-90 means:
x '= x cos (-90) - y sin (-90)
y '= x sin (-90) + y cos (-90)
x '= 0 - y (-1) = y
y '= x (-1) + 0 = -x
or with a matrix:
R-90 means: x '= y → y = x'
y '= -x → x = -y'
substituted for: 2x - y + 6 = 0
2 (-y ') - x' + 6 = 0
-2y '- x' + 6 = 0
x '+ 2y' - 6 = 0
So the image: x + 2y - 6 = 0
If the angle of rotation a = π (the rotation is denoted by H)
then x '= - x and y' = -y
3. The parabola image equation y = 3x^2 - 6x + 1 after being rotated at the base of the
coordinates with a rotation angle of 180 degree, is ..............
Answer :
H : x’ = -x → x = -x’
y’ = -y → y = -y’
substituted to
: y = 3x2 – 6x + 1
-y’= 3(-x’)^2 – 6(-x’) + 1
-y’ = 3(x’)^2 + 6x + 1 (dikali -1)
The image:
y = -3x^2 – 6x - 1

4. Point D (3, -4) is reflected by y = -x and continues reflected by y-axis. The image of point
D’ is …
4. DILATION
Is a transformation that changes the size (enlarges or reduces) a shape but does not change
the shape.
Dilation Center O (0,0) and scale factor k
If point P (x, y) is dilated to center O (0,0) and scale factor k is obtained image P' (x', y') then
x' = kx and y'= ky and denoted by [O, k] .
Example.
The line ​2x - 3y = 6​ intersects the X axis at A and intersects the y axis at B. Due to dilation of [O,
-2], point A becomes A' and point B becomes B'.
Calculate the area of ​​triangle OA'B'
Answer:
line 2x - 3y = 6 intersects the X axis at​ A (3,0)​ intersects the Y axis at ​B (0, -2)​ due to dilation [O,
-2] then ​ A '(kx, ky) → A' (- 6,0) ​and​ ​B’(​k​x,​k​y) → B’(0,4)
Point A '(- 6,0), B' (0,4) and point O (0,0) form a triangle as shown:
So that the area : = ½ x OA’ x OB’
= ½ x 6 x 4 = 12
Dilation with Center P (a, b) and scale factor k
the image is
x '= k (x - a) + a and
y '= k (y - b) + b
denoted by [P (a, b), k]
Example. Point A (-5,13) is dilated by [P, ⅔] to give A '. If the coordinates of point P are (1, -2),
then the coordinates of point A 'are….
Answer:
[P (a, b), k]
A (x, y) A '(x', y ')
x '= k (x - a) + a
y '= k (y - b) + b
[P (1, -2),]
A (-5,13) A '(x' y ')
x '= ⅔ (-5 - 1) + 1 = -3
y '= ⅔ (13 - (-2)) + (-2) = 8
So the coordinates of poin​t A '(- 3,8)
Composition (Sequences) of Transformations
When two or more transformations are combined to form a new transformation, the result is
called a composition of transformations, or a sequence of transformations. In a composition,
one transformation produces an image upon which the other transformation is then performed.
If T1 is a transformation from point A (x, y) to point A'(x', y') followed by transformation T2 is the
transformation from point A' (x', y') to point A"(x" , y ”) then the two successive transformations
are called the Composition Transformation and are written T2 to T1.
Transformation composition with a matrix
If T1 is represented by a matrix and T2 is a matrix , the first two
transformations of T1 followed by T2 are written T2 o T1 = .
Example.
1. The matrix corresponding to the​ dilation with the center (0,0) and a scale factor of 3​ followed
by ​a reflection on the line y = x​ is…
Answer:
M1 = 3 scale dilation matrix is
M2 = Matrix of reflection with respect to y = x is
