Combinations of Transformations
You can use a combination of translations, reflections and rotations.
Reflection and rotation
- Shape A is reflected across x=2 to become shape B.
- Shape B is rotated 180o around (2,0) to become shape C.
- Shape C is also 180o rotation of shape A.
Translation and reflection
- Shape A is translated down by 5 coordinates on the y axis to become shape B.
- Shape B is reflected over the y axis to become shape C.
