Identifying the Transformations


Examine the picture of the two cats.
 



a.
What transformations were applied to the original picture to produce image 1?




b.
What transformations were applied to the original picture to produce image 2?




c.
What transformations were applied to the original picture to produce image 3?




d.
What transformations were applied to the original picture to produce image 4?





a.
Image 1 was produced by a reflection in the y-axis and then a horizontal translation 2 units to the right.

b.
Image 2 was produced by a dilation (enlargement) and a 90° rotation counterclockwise.

c.
Image 3 was produced by a 180° rotation and a translation horizontally 2 units to the right and vertically 2 units down.

d.
Image 4 was produced by a dilation (reduction) and a reflection in the x-axis.
