Foundation and Higher · transformations

Two transformations in a row. Can you describe
them as one?

“single” means one —
two steps scores zero

the question will say —

Single

A goes to B, then B goes to C

describe A straight to C

combination 1 of 2

Translate, then translate

1. A to B: translation by (6−1)

2. B to C: translation by (−3−6)

✓ Add the vectors: A to C is (3−7)

combination 2 of 2

Reflect, then reflect

1. A to B: reflection in the y-axis.

2. B to C: reflection in the x-axis.

✓ A to C is one rotation:
180° about (0, 0)

describe the single transformation —

Ignore the middle shape

compare start and finish

Name one transformation
