About Geometry Worksheet Assignment 3.11:
Assignment 3.11 is an introduction to transformations of polygons on the coordinate plane.
Prerequisite Skills: Classify transformations (Assignment 3.5). Write coordinates of points on the coordinate plane and plot points on the coordinate plane (Assignment 1.7). Evaluate functions.
Definition: A transformation (T) in the coordinate plane is a function.
For each point in the preimage (x1, y1), there is one point in the image (x2, y2) such that T(x1, y1) = (x2, y2)
