Questions and Solutions

6. Name the line of reflection from D to E.

To find the line of reflection:

  • Look for the line equidistant from points D and E.
  • Based on the grid, the line of reflection appears to be x=1.5x = 1.5.

7. What is the rule for the translation from F to D?

Translation rule:

  • From F to D, calculate the movement along the xx- and yy-axes:
    • F(1,5)D(2,4)F(1, 5) \to D(-2, 4)
    • x:12x: 1 \to -2 (subtract 3), y:54y: 5 \to 4 (subtract 1).
  • The translation rule is: (x,y)(x3,y1)(x, y) \to (x - 3, y - 1).

8. What is the angle of rotation from A to C about the origin (degree & direction)?

For the rotation:

  • Coordinates: A(1,1)C(1,1)A(1, 1) \to C(-1, -1).
  • ACA \to C represents a 180° rotation about the origin (clockwise or counterclockwise).

9. Reflect ΔXYZ\Delta XYZ across the x-axis.

Given vertices:

  • X(1,3)X(1, 3), Y(2,2)Y(2, 2), Z(3,3)Z(3, 3).
  • Reflection rule across the xx-axis: (x,y)(x,y)(x, y) \to (x, -y).
  • Reflected vertices:
    • X=(1,3)X' = (1, -3),
    • Y=(2,2)Y' = (2, -2),
    • Z=(3,3)Z' = (3, -3).

10. Translate ΔXYZ\Delta XYZ using (x,y)(x+2,y1)(x, y) \to (x + 2, y - 1).

Given vertices:

  • X(3,1)X(-3, 1), Y(1,3)Y(-1, 3), Z(2,2)Z(2, 2).
  • Apply the translation rule:
    • X=(3+2,11)=(1,0)X' = (-3 + 2, 1 - 1) = (-1, 0),
    • Y=(1+2,31)=(1,2)Y' = (-1 + 2, 3 - 1) = (1, 2),
    • Z=(2+2,21)=(4,1)Z' = (2 + 2, 2 - 1) = (4, 1).

Translated vertices:

  • X=(1,0)X' = (-1, 0), Y=(1,2)Y' = (1, 2), Z=(4,1)Z' = (4, 1).

11. Determine dilation type and scale factor.

For the dilation:

  • Original triangle dimensions: 2in2 \, \text{in} (base).
  • Dilated triangle dimensions: 5in5 \, \text{in} (base).
  • The dilation is an enlargement, and the scale factor is: Scale Factor=52=2.5\text{Scale Factor} = \frac{5}{2} = 2.5

Would you like detailed step-by-step explanations for any of these solutions?


Follow-Up Questions

  1. How is a line of reflection determined on a coordinate plane?
  2. How do you apply translation rules to a triangle’s vertices?
  3. What are other ways to verify a 180° rotation about the origin?
  4. How does reflection over the x-axis affect the coordinates of a point?
  5. What is the difference between enlargement and reduction in dilation?

Tip

When reflecting across a line, always ensure the reflected points are equidistant from the line of reflection!
