Use the plot of the point $\left(x_{0}, y_{0}\right)$ in the figure. Match the transformation of the point with the correct plot. Explain your reasoning. [The plots are labeled (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv).]

Key Concepts

Rotation

A rotation turns a figure or point about a fixed center by a certain angle and direction. The coordinates of the point change according to trigonometric relationships depending on the angle of rotation, yet the distance from the center remains constant. Recognizing rotations involves identifying those changes that preserve distances and angles but shift the orientation of the point or shape.

Reflection

A reflection produces a mirror image of a figure or point across a specified line such as the x-axis, y-axis, or any other line. In coordinate terms, this transformation usually involves changing the sign of one coordinate while leaving the other unchanged or interchanging coordinates, depending on the mirror line. Understanding reflections is essential when determining how the point’s coordinates are inverted or swapped.

Dilation

A dilation resizes a figure by scaling its coordinates relative to a fixed point, often the origin. This transformation multiplies the coordinates of the original point by a scale factor, which can increase or decrease the size while preserving the overall shape and orientation. Understanding dilations is key when matching a plotted point that has been uniformly expanded or contracted.

Geometric Transformations

These are operations that change the position, orientation, or size of a shape or point in a coordinate plane. They include a variety of actions such as translations, rotations, reflections, and dilations. Understanding how these transformations affect the coordinates of a point is crucial for matching a transformed figure to its algebraic description.

Translation

A translation shifts every point of a figure or a point in the plane by the same fixed distance in a given direction. This is done by adding a constant to the x?coordinate, the y?coordinate, or both. Recognizing a translation involves observing that the shape maintains its size, shape, and orientation while being moved from one position to another.
