types of rigid motion
translations, rotations, reflections
transformations that preserve orientation
translations, rotations
transformations that are isometries
translations, rotations, reflections
to rotate 90˚ clockwise
make x –, then switch x and y
to rotate 90˚ counter-clockwise
make y –, then switch x and y
reflections across the y-axis
(x, y) -> (-x, y)
reflections across the x-axis
(x, y) -> (x, -y)
reflections across the line y=x
(x, y) -> (y, x)
reflections across the line y = -x
(x, y) -> (-y, -x)
shortcut for reflections
y - y coordinate + y
theorem 1 parallel lines
reflections across 2 parallel lines are equivalent to doing a translation
theorem 2 intersecting lines
reflections across 2 intersecting lines are equivalent to doing a rotation around the pt of intersection
