Transformations on a
Coordinate Plane
 Reflections:
• About the x-axis:

Ax, y  Ax, y 
• About the y-axis:

Ax, y  A x, y 
A´

A  5,2  A´´
Give the coordinates for
the indicated point.
1. P  2,5 is reflected in
the x-axis P 2,5
 
2. P  3,4 is reflected in
 
the y-axis P 3,4
 Give the coordinates for
the indicated point.
3. Q 4,1 is reflected in the
x-axis then reflected in the
y-axis. Q 4,1
 translations:
• Can be described using
coordinate notation:
x , y   x  a , y  b 
a and b are constants.
• Each point shifts a units
horizontally and b units vertically.
