Transforming Points
Skill:
Describe, or graph plane figures which are the results of a sequence of transformations.
Transforming Points
Relate coordinates of a point on the coordinate plane and its image produced by a translation, reflection, or rotation.
Putting It All Together
Answer these open ended questions on your own or with others to form deeper math connections.
Open-ended question 1
Is this statement true always, sometimes, or never?: A translation makes the coordinates of a point increase. Give examples to explain your thinking.

Open-ended question 2
Always, sometimes, or never: If point is a reflection of point , their -coordinates are opposites. Give examples to explain your thinking.
