Transformations - Rotations

To see Reflections (in the x-axis, y-axis, line y = x, origin), Translations, and Dilations,
go to Transformations.

Figure being used will be a triangle: A(1,1), B(6,3), C(4,7).

1. Clear entries in the Y= positions (or turn them off).

2. Turn on the Connected Graph icon under StatPlots.
Go to StatPlot - #1 Plot - highlight On - highlight second icon.
Xlist is the name of the list where the x-coordinates will be found.
Ylist is the name of the list where the y-coordinates will be found.
Mark: choose the heavier mark to represent the original figure.

3. Enter values into L1 and L2. Enter the x-coordinate in L1 and its corresponding y-coordinate in L2. Enter the first coordinate again at the end to complete the connected drawing.
(See Basic Commands for help entering data in lists.)

The original triangle is now residing in Plot1. When graphing do NOT choose ZoomStat for the window. We want to have a coordinate axes for examining our transformations. Use a standard 10x10 window (ZStandard) for this problem.

4. We will be placing our transformation coordinates into L3 and our transformation figure will reside in Plot2.

Rotation of 90° counterclockwise: (x, y) → (-y, x)

Store the negated y-values into list L3. You can type them in yourself or let the calculator create the values. Arrow up ONTO L3 and enter -L2 (to negate the y-values). Press ENTER.

Rotation of 180° counterclockwise: (x, y) → (-x, -y)

Store the negated x-values into list L3 and the negated y-values in L4. Under Plot 2, assign Xlist: L3 and Ylist: Y4. Graph.

10f 11f 12f

Rotation of 270° counterclockwise: (x, y) → (y, -x)

Store the negated x-values into list L3. Under Plot 2, assign Xlist: L2 and Ylist: Y3. Graph.
