Journal: According to a compass rose this arrow is facing east. Explain how a reflection (flip) over the y-axis, a rotation (turn) counter-clockwise, and translation (slide) 4 units down would affect the direction of this arrow. Which direction according to a compass rose would the arrow be facing after each transformation?

The arrow will be facing Southwest, because if it was facing east before it was flipped, it would then be facing west. It also stated that it went down 4 units counter-clockwise so it will then lead southwest.
ReplyDeleteHi Daniel, You are on the right track here with this prompt. You were correct in saying that the arrow would face west. However, with the rotation counter-clockwise the arrow would now be facing south. the translation would simply slide the figure not change its direction. No worries, you will have a deeper understanding of these concepts after this weeks lessons.
