Lesson 4

Coordinate Moves

Problem 1

  1. Here are some points.
    Points \(A\), \(B\) and \(C\) on a coordinate plane, origin \(O\).

    What are the coordinates of \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) after a translation to the right by 4 units and up 1 unit? Plot these points on the grid, and label them \(A’\), \(B’\) and \(C’\).

  2. Here are some points.
    Points \(D\), \(E\) and \(F\) on a coordinate plane, origin \(O\).

    What are the coordinates of \(D\), \(E\), and \(F\) after a reflection over the \(y\) axis? Plot these points on the grid, and label them \(D’\), \(E’\) and \(F’\).

  3. Here are some points.
    Points \(G\), \(H\) and \(I\) on a coordinate plane, origin \(O\).

    What are the coordinates of \(G\), \(H\), and \(I\) after a rotation about \((0,0)\) by 90 degrees clockwise? Plot these points on the grid, and label them \(G’\), \(H’\) and \(I’\).
