Transformations
Revision Notes
There are four types of transformation :-
1. Reflection
2. Rotation
3. Translation
22
e.g. ‘translation, 3 left, 2 up’ or ‘translation ’ would earn 2 marks if it was a correct
description
4. Enlargement
Examples

3.
4.
23
From A to B, enlargement, scale factor 3,
centre (2, 1)
Key Points
You must only describe ONE transformation, e.g. ‘enlargement scale factor 2 and then
translated 4 right, 1 up’ would earn ZERO marks!! ‘enlargement scale factor 2’ would
earn 2/3 marks
Use tracing paper to help with describing rotations
Learn basic equations of lines e.g x = 2, y = -1, y = x for describing reflections
Draw in the ray lines (example 4) to help find the centre of enlargement
You do not have to use vectors to describe translations, use words if you are not
confident with vectors
You need to be able to understand vectors for drawing translations
