Chapter Overview
Goals
Before we can test the conjectures we made about the compositions of transformations we did using patty paper, we need to have a surefire method of knowing whether or not a single transformation has occurred or not. This chapter will walk you through a test for each of the transformations. First, I'd like you to summarize what methods you already know about.
Translations
How can you tell that a transformation might be a translation? How can you tell a transformation is not a translation?
Reflections
How can you tell that a transformation might be a reflection? How can you tell a transformation is not a reflection?
Rotations
How can you tell that a transformation might be a rotation? How can you tell a transformation is not a rotation?
