When a point is reflected on the
-axis, only the
co-ordinate of the point changes. The
co-ordinate remains unchanged.
Find the co-ordinates of the reflection of the point Q, if Q is reflected on the
-axis. The co-ordinates of Q are (15;5).
We are given the point Q with co-ordinates (15;5) and need to find the co-ordinates of the point if it is reflected on the
-axis.
The point Q is to the right of the
-axis, therefore its reflection will be the same distance to the left of the
-axis as the point Q is to the right of the
-axis. Therefore,
=-15.
For a reflection on the
-axis, the
co-ordinate remains unchanged. Therefore,
=5.
The co-ordinates of the reflected point are (-15;5).
Reflection on the line
The final type of reflection you will learn about is the reflection of a point on the line
.

C

D

What can you deduce about the co-ordinates of points that are reflected about the line
?
The
and
co-ordinates of points that are reflected on the line
are swapped around, or interchanged. This means that the
co-ordinate of the original point becomes the
co-ordinate of the reflected point and the
co-ordinate of the original point becomes the
co-ordinate of the reflected point.
The
and
co-ordinates of points that are reflected on the line
are interchanged.
Find the co-ordinates of the reflection of the point R, if R is reflected on the line
. The co-ordinates of R are (-5;5).
We are given the point R with co-ordinates (-5;5) and need to find the co-ordinates of the point if it is reflected on the line
.
The
co-ordinate of the reflected point is the
co-ordinate of the original point. Therefore,
=5.
The
co-ordinate of the reflected point is the
co-ordinate of the original point. Therefore,
=-5.
The co-ordinates of the reflected point are (5;-5).
Rules of Translation
A quick way to write a translation is to use a 'rule of translation'. For example
means translate point (x;y) by moving a units horizontally and b units vertically.
So if we translate (1;2) by the rule
it becomes (4;1). We have moved 3 units right and 1 unit down.
Translating a Region
To translate a region, we translate each point in the region.
Example
Region A has been translated to region B by the rule:
Discussion : rules of transformations
Work with a friend and decide which item from column 1 matches each description in column 2.
Column 1
Column 2
a reflection on x-y line
a reflection on the x axis
a shift of 3 units left
a shift of 3 units down
a reflection on the y-axis
Transformations
Describe the translations in each of the following using the rule (x;y)
(...;...)
From A to B
From C to J
From F to H
From I to J
From K to L
From J to E
From G to H
A is the point (4;1). Plot each of the following points under the given transformations. Give the co-ordinates of the points you have plotted.
B is the reflection of A in the x-axis.
C is the reflection of A in the y-axis.
D is the reflection of B in the line x=0.
E is the reflection of C is the line y=0.
F is the reflection of A in the line y= x
In the diagram, B, C and D are images of polygon A. In each case, the transformation that has been applied to obtain the image involves a reflection and a translation of A. Write down the letter of each image and describe the transformation applied to A in order to obtain the image.
Investigation : calculation of volume, surface area and scale factors of objects
Look around the house or school and find a can or a tin of any kind (e.g. beans, soup, cooldrink, paint etc.)
Measure the height of the tin and the diameter of its top or bottom.
Write down the values you measured on the diagram below:
Using your measurements, calculate the following (in cm
, rounded off to 2 decimal places):
the area of the side of the tin (i.e. the rectangle)
the area of the top and bottom of the tin (i.e. the circles)
the total surface area of the tin
If the tin metal costs 0,17 cents/cm
, how much does it cost to make the tin?
Find the volume of your tin (in cm
, rounded off to 2 decimal places).
What is the volume of the tin given on its label?
Compare the volume you calculated with the value given on the label. How much air is contained in the tin when it contains the product (i.e. cooldrink, soup etc.)
Why do you think space is left for air in the tin?
If you wanted to double the volume of the tin, but keep the radius the same, by how much would you need to increase the height?
If the height of the tin is kept the same, but now the radius is doubled, by what scale factor will the:
area of the side surface of the tin increase?
area of the bottom/top of the tin increase?
