Step 1: Create a Figure
Create a figure or drawing in Quadrant I of a coordinate plane that has at least eight
points or vertices. Get creative! You can change colors, make a drawing, or try
writing your name! Need an idea? Ideas: The first initial of your name, a star, a
heart, a flower, a football.
Step 2: Transform the Figure
Transform the figure three times. Use each of the following transformations one
time: translation, reflection, rotation. You can use the same coordinate plane to
create these new figures. Be sure to include the rule for each transformation.

Step 3: Answer the Questions
1. What rule was used for the translation?
2. A vector is a mathematical object that has direction and magnitude.
What is another way you can describe and define a translation?
3. Which line is your image reflected across?
4. How does the distance from one point of the pre-image to the reflection
line relate to the reflected image point? Is this relationship true for all
reflections? How do you know?
5. How many degrees was your image rotated and in which direction?
6. How can a rotation be described?
7. Explain how a shape can look the same after being rotated.
Step 4: What to Submit
Submit the following to your instructor:
1. Your coordinate plane with pre-image.
2. The three transformed images on the same coordinate plane as the pre-
image.
3. Answers to the questions:

the reflection line relate to reflected image point? Is this
relationship true for all reflections? How do you know?
How many degrees was your image rotated and in which
direction?
How can a rotation be described?
Explain how a shape can look the same after being rotated.
