Transformations Flashcards
What does the bottom number of a vector represent?
How far the object is moved up or down
How do I recognise
a rotation?
The object has been spun around
Describe the line
x = -7
Vertical line,
going through -7 on the x axis
What is required to describe
a translation?
Translation
A vector
Why don’t you need a direction for a 180 degree rotation?
The image lands in the same place either clockwise or anti-clockwise
Describe the line
y = 5
Horizontal line,
going through 5 on the y axis
How far round is 270 degrees?
3/4 turn
Describe the line
x = 4
Vertical line,
going through 4 on the x axis
Where is the origin?
(0, 0)
At the centre of the grid
Describe the line
y = x
Diagonal line.
Positive gradient (upward),
going through the origin
What is an invariant point?
A coordinate that has not changed after the transformation has happened
What is the equation of a diagonal line,
going through the origin,
with a positive gradient of 1?
y = x
What does the top number of a vector represent?
How far the object is moved left or right
What type of scale factor rotates an object as well as changing its size?
A negative scale factor
Describe the line
y = -x
Diagonal line.
Negative gradient (downward),
going through the origin
