Matrix Transformations
 

 

Given quadrilateral ABCD (preimage), perform various transformations to find the coordinates for it's image, quadrilateral A'B'C'D'.

In the "Algebra Window," double-click on "u" and "v" to change the values of the transformation matrix.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


For a reflection over the

x-axis,

multiply the vertex matrix on the left by:

\left| \matrix{ 1 & 0 \cr 0 & -1} \right|

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


For a reflection over the

y-axis,

multiply the vertex matrix on the left by:

\left| \matrix{ -1 & 0 \cr 0 & 1} \right|

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


For a reflection over the

line \quad y = x,

multiply the vertex matrix on the left by:

\left| \matrix{ 0 & 1 \cr 1 & 0} \right|

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


For a counterclockwise rotation of

90°,

multiply the vertex matrix on the left by:

\left| \matrix{ 0 & -1 \cr 1 & 0} \right|

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


For a counterclockwise rotation of

180°,

multiply the vertex matrix on the left by:

\left| \matrix{ -1& 0 \cr 0 & -1} \right|

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


For a counterclockwise rotation of

270°,

multiply the vertex matrix on the left by:

\left| \matrix{ 0 & 1 \cr -1 & 0} \right|
