A Practice

See Problems 1 and 2.

Find the image of each letter for a reflection first across line bold italic script l  and then across line m. Is the resulting transformation a translation or a rotation? For a translation, describe the direction and distance. For a rotation, tell the center of rotation and the angle of rotation.

  1. Capital letter F is above horizontal line l, which is parallel to line m below it.
  2. Capital letter M is above line l rising up to the right, parallel to line m below it.
  3. Capital letter T is between two parallel lines rising up to the right, with line l below the letter and line m above it.
  4. Capital letter L is below the intersection C of rising line l and falling line m, opposite a 85 degree angle above C.
  5. Capital letter V, opening up to the right, has top left corner on rising line l. Line m falls through line l at C, above letter V. The angle above l and below m is 60 degrees.
  6. Capital letter N is below falling line l. Rising line m intersects l at C, down to the right of the N. The angle above l and above m is 75 degrees.

See Problem 3.

Graph cap delta p n b  and its glide reflection image for the given translation and reflection line.

A graph of triangle PNB has vertices P(2, 2), N(3, negative 1), and B(negative 1, negative 2).

  1. open x comma y close rightwards arrow open x plus 2 comma y close semicolon y equals 3
  2. open x comma y close rightwards arrow open x comma y minus 3 close semicolon x equals 0
  3. open x comma y close rightwards arrow open x plus 2 comma y plus 2 close semicolon y equals x
  4. open x comma y close rightwards arrow open x minus 1 comma y plus 1 close semicolon y equals negative x

See Problem 4.

Each figure below is an isometry image of the figure below. Tell whether the two figures' orientations are the same or opposite. Then classify the isometry.

A figure is shaped like a triangle with smaller triangle extending down to the left from the top of the left side.

  1. A figure is the triangle with the smaller triangle extending down to the right from the left of the bottom side.
  2. A figure is the triangle with smaller triangle extending down to the left from the top of the left side.
  3. A figure is the triangle with smaller triangle extending up to the left from the bottom of its left side.
  4. A figure is the triangle with smaller triangle extending down to the right from the top of the right side.

Each figure below is an isometry image of the figure below. Tell whether the two figures' orientations are the same or opposite. Then classify the isometry.

A figure is the number 227 aligned horizontally, with top of the 7 at the top right.

  1. A figure is the number 227 aligned horizontally with top of the 7 at the top left.
  2. A figure is the number 227 aligned vertically with top of the 7 at the bottom left.
  3. A figure is the number 227 aligned horizontally with top of the 7 at the top right.
  4. A figure is the number 227 aligned horizontally, with the top of the 7 at the bottom left.
