What translation was performed? http://prntscr.com/5acjul

OpenStudy (compassionate):

It looks like it was rotated 180 degrees counterclockwise... Hmm... But then what?

OpenStudy (andrewthecookie):

Seems like a rotation across the y axis

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Yeah, rotation of 180 degrees across the y-axis, but then it was moved.

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Would you translate it 5 units?

OpenStudy (andrewthecookie):

No

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Then what?

OpenStudy (andrewthecookie):

I think it might be a rotation then translated it 5 units

OpenStudy (compassionate):

I know it has to be either 180 or 270 counterclockwise

OpenStudy (andrewthecookie):

Unsure about this one :/

OpenStudy (andrewthecookie):

Yes

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Hmm... @satellite73 , @dan815

OpenStudy (compassionate):

I'm just having trouble figuring out if we should translate then rotate, or rotate then translate.

OpenStudy (andrewthecookie):

I think its rotate then translate but still unsure :/

I don't know if this helps, but here is a video: https://www.udacity.com/course/viewer#!/c-cs291/l-91073092/m-117955994

Ganeshie baby =P

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

I think you're right, 180 degree rotation followed by a translation

OpenStudy (andrewthecookie):

Oh

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Mhm! It would be a translation by 5 down, yes?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

rotate 180 degree + translate 5 units UP

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Up? Are you sure?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

can you draw where it would end up after rotating 180 degrees ?

OpenStudy (compassionate):

I know, but my papers are telling me >180 degrees, then 5 units down >5 units down, then 180 degrees So it's not an option to move five up.

OpenStudy (compassionate):

I'm scratching my head on this one because I thought it was 5 units, too

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

don't scratch too much as it will be obvious if you draw the image right after 180 degree rotation

OpenStudy (compassionate):

@Ns36

OpenStudy (compassionate):

I did draw it. =P I'm looking at it but can't see how dropping it five spaces would help.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Right, translate it up by 5 units and you're done!

OpenStudy (compassionate):

My textbook doesn't give that as an option. It says five units down...

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Now do you see why I am scratching my head?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

its more likely a typo, i suggest you move on and get this clarified with your teacher

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Yeah, that's what I thought. It made no sense! If I move down then I'm going away from where I want to be LOL Thanks for reinforcing that, Ganeshie

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

hey wait

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you have another option, lets try this : >5 units down, then 180 degrees

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

|dw:1417018068511:dw|

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

move it 5 units down and then rotate 180 degrees xD

OpenStudy (compassionate):

LOL

OpenStudy (compassionate):

WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lol i feel the same http://gyazo.com/4c38bf8588f16710f2c20a1900ff5154
