Questions to Expand Learning:
- What happens if you rotate the triangles 90° counterclockwise instead?
- How does reflecting over the x-axis change the triangle's coordinates?
- Can you describe how a 180° rotation differs from a 90° rotation?
- What would be the result of reflecting over the line ?
- How can you verify the transformations mathematically without graphing?
Tip: Always double-check transformed coordinates by reapplying the transformation rule for accuracy.
