Math Problem Statement

Give me some visual problems is translating, reflecting, rotations and dialating something across a graph

Solution

Here are some visual problems that involve translating, reflecting, rotating, and dilating objects across a graph. Each problem is described step-by-step for you to visualize or draw on a graph.

Problem 1: Translation

  1. Original Object: Consider a triangle with vertices at A(1,2)A(1, 2), B(3,4)B(3, 4), and C(2,6)C(2, 6).
  2. Task: Translate the triangle 4 units to the right and 3 units down.
  3. Question: What are the new coordinates of the vertices after the translation?

Problem 2: Reflection

  1. Original Object: Consider a square with vertices at P(2,3)P(-2, 3), Q(1,3)Q(1, 3), R(1,6)R(1, 6), and S(2,6)S(-2, 6).
  2. Task: Reflect the square across the y-axis.
  3. Question: What are the new coordinates of the vertices after the reflection?

Problem 3: Rotation

  1. Original Object: Consider a line segment with endpoints at M(2,1)M(2, 1) and N(5,1)N(5, 1).
  2. Task: Rotate the line segment 90° counterclockwise around the origin.
  3. Question: What are the new coordinates of the endpoints after the rotation?

Problem 4: Dilation

  1. Original Object: Consider a rectangle with vertices at J(1,1)J(1, 1), K(4,1)K(4, 1), L(4,3)L(4, 3), and M(1,3)M(1, 3).
  2. Task: Dilate the rectangle by a scale factor of 2 with the origin as the center of dilation.
  3. Question: What are the new coordinates of the vertices after the dilation?

Problem 5: Combination of Transformations

  1. Original Object: Consider a parallelogram with vertices at X(3,2)X(-3, 2), Y(1,4)Y(-1, 4), Z(1,2)Z(1, 2), and W(1,0)W(-1, 0).
  2. Task: Reflect the parallelogram across the x-axis, and then translate it 2 units to the left.
  3. Question: What are the new coordinates of the vertices after both transformations?

Would you like detailed solutions for any of these problems or have any questions?

Relative Questions:

  1. How do you determine the new coordinates after a translation?
  2. What is the effect of reflecting an object across the x-axis versus the y-axis?
  3. How does the angle of rotation affect the coordinates of a shape on a graph?
  4. What happens to the size and position of a shape when it is dilated by a factor of less than 1?
  5. Can you combine more than two transformations, and how would that affect the final result?

Tip: When performing a transformation, always track each vertex of the shape individually to ensure accuracy in your final result.
