Reflections/translations on a coordinate plane

Hello students in mathematics we study the concept of the transformation. There are many types of Transformation schemes that are used in various fields. Some transformations are: -
-Rotation
-Reflection
-Translation
The transformation can be stated as the word that means changing in shape of the object, in this a shape of object can be change, and position of object can be change.
-Reflections on a coordinate plane mean reflection on the xy axis or xy coordinate or xy plane. The x coordinate represents the horizontal position and y coordinate represents the vertical position.
Reflection of any object means reverse image of that particular object or flipping of the object. We see our image in the mirror is the example of Reflection and reflection on a coordinate plane means a particular object that are on xy plane will reflect on the -x-y plane.
-Translations on a coordinate plane mean shifting of one shape from xy plane to another plane. In it only changes in position not in shape. In the translation transformation the object or figure is shifted only one position to another and their shape remain unchanged. In the translation we can move the shape into any direction like in upward, downward, on the right side and left and wherever we want. (know more about cbse board, here)

The reflexion and translation can be more understand by graphically. The shape may be triangle, rectangle and anything for both the transformation. Reflected and translated figures are represented by the ' symbol like we have original figure name is ABCD then the transformed figure will be represented as the ABCD'. To solve both we have to provide the numeric data so that we can draw the any shape on a coordinate plane for transforming.


In the next session we will discuss about Congruence
