What is the coordinate notation for reflections?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also i need help on 2 more if that is ok with you

OpenStudy (redneckoutlaw):

Draw a quick Cartesian plane with x & y axes. Plot a random point in quadrant one, say A(1, 4) Ask yourself "what would be the coordinates of the reflection of point A using the y-axis as a mirror line?" I hope you were thinking (–1, 4) ... Try a few more for yourself. Can you see that they all have this pattern: P(x, y) ➞ P(–x, y) Well that is the mapping rule for y-axis reflections. Similar thinking will get this rule for x-axis reflection: P(x, y) ➞ P'(x, –y) IF ⠀the y-axis reflection takes place AFTER the slide translation ... THEN ⠀P(x, y) ➞ P'(x + a, y + b) ➞ P''(–(x + a), y + b) = P''(–x –a , y + b) IF ⠀the x-axis reflection takes place AFTER the slide translation ... THEN ⠀P(x, y) ➞ P'(x + a, y + b) ➞ P''(x + a, –(y + b)) = P''(x + a , –y –b) And i can give you my best.

nvm i need to know what a dilations is

OpenStudy (redneckoutlaw):

http://www.regentsprep.org/Regents/math/geometry/GT3/Ldilate2.htm This should help you with that

OpenStudy (redneckoutlaw):

A dilation is a transformation (notation ) that produces an image that is the same shape as the original, but is a different size. A dilation stretches or shrinks the original figure. The description of a dilation includes the scale factor (or ratio) and the center of the dilation.
