ROTATIONS

EQ: How do you rotate a figure 90, 180 or 270 degrees around a given point?

Rotations

Center of Rotation: the point you turn the object around

Angle of Rotation: number of degrees to turn the object

Counter clockwise: always turn to the left (unless it says otherwise)

90° - ONE TURN

180° - TWO TURNS

270° - THREE TURNS

Challenge: Perform the following transformations on the figure below.

1. Reflect over the y-axis

2. (x , y) → (x + 1, y – 8)

3. Rotate 270° about the origin

In a coordinate plane, find the reflection of (2,−4) over the line y = x.

F (−4,2)

G (4,2)

H (−2,4)

J (4,−2)

Rules

A point (x, y) that has been rotated

90˚ (x, y)→(-y, x)

180˚ (x, y)→(-x, -y)

270° (x, y) → (y, -x)

Practice

Rotate (1, 5) 90˚ →

Rotate (1, 5) 180˚ →

Rotate (1, 5) 270˚ →

Rotate (4, -2) 90˚ →

Rotate (4, -2) 180˚ →

Rotate (4, -2) 270˚ →
