How do we solve problems using rotations ?
Rotation:
A figure is turned around a single point.
Images
Rotated about 270 degrees
Rotated about 180 degrees
How do we solve problems using reflections ?
Reflection:
A transformation that flips a figure across a line.

How do we graph rotations ?
Graphing
rotations
is basically taking a shape and turning it depending on what degree measure you're given.
Rotation:
figure is turned around a single point.
90 degrees
(A,B)---->(-B,A)
(5,2)----->(-2,5)
180 degrees
(A,B)---->(-A,-B)
(5,2)---->(-5,-2)
270 degrees
(A,B)---->(B,-A)

How do we identify transformations ?
Transformation
is moving a geometric figure on a graph.
Four types of Transformations
:
1.
Translation
: Every point is moved the same distance.
2.
Rotation
: Figure is turned around a single point.
3.
Reflection
:
Figure is flipped over a line.
4.
Dilation
: Changing the size of an image.
