    Matrices of Transformations

    A transformation is a change in position, size or shape of an object. Transformation includes:

    • Reflection
    • Rotation
    • Enlargement
    • Translation
    • Shear

    Matrices can be used to transformation an object by multiplying vertices of an object on a Cartesian plane with a 2 x 2 matrix

    Reflection on line x=0 (Y-axis)

    The matrix that can map objects on this transformation is

    Reflection on Y=0 (X-axis)

    multiply the object with

    Reflection on the line y=x

    multiply the object vertices by:

    Reflection on the line y= -x

    multiply the object vertices by:

    positive Quarter turn about the origin

    positive turn is turning anticlockwise. Multiply the object vertices by

    Half turn about the origin

    Multiply the object vertices by:

    Positive three quarter turn about the origin

    This is same as rotating 270o anticlockwise. Multiply the object vertices by:

    An Enlargement from center with a scale factor k

    Multiply the object vertices by:
