Matrix Transformations – Final Project Option

 x
For each of the following transformations, represent the point (x,y) as vector   .
 y
The transformation will be applied as matrix multiplication.

A) plot the points G(1,1), E(2,1),

O(3,2), and M(1,3) and
connect them
B) make a chart of the images
of those points under the
indicated transformation
C) plot the new points on the
same graph
D) identify the transformation
as a reflection, rotation,
translation, dilation, or none
(look up these words if you
are not sure what they are)

Example:
1 0
T =
0 −1

A) & C) at right
 x   x′ 
B) T ⋅   =  
