If a triangle is in quadrant three and undergoes a transformation that moves each of its coordinate points to the left three units and down one unit, what transformation has occurred?
To determine the type of transformation that is occurring in this particular situation, first recall the different types of transformations.
Translation: To move an object from its original position a certain distance without changing the object in any other way.
Transformation: Refers to any of the four changes that can be done to an object geographically. Transformations include, reflections, translations, rotations, and resizing the object.
Reflection: To flip the orientation of an object over a specific line or function.
Rotation: To rotate an object either clockwise or counter clockwise around a center point.
Since each of the triangle's coordinates is moved to the left and down, it is seen that the size and shape of the triangle remains the same but its location is different. Therefore, the transformation the triangle has undergone is a translation.

A transformation that changes the values by multiplying them by negative one is known as a reflection across the
-axis or the line
Therefore, this particular rectangle is being reflected across the -axis because the opposite of all the
values have been taken.

Assume the values a, b, c, and d are all positive integers. If a rectangle has the coordinate values, (a,b), (c,b), (a,d), and (c,d) and after a transformation results in the coordinates (a,b), (2c,b), (a,2d), and (2c,2d) identify the transformation.
The above described transformation is a dilation. Notice that one point, (a,b), stays the same before and after the transformation. The point (c,b) retains the same y value of b, but c is dilated into 2c, extending the base of the rectangle. The point (a,d) is similar in that the x value of a stays the same, but the y value of d is extended or dilated to 2d. The final point (c,d) is extended in both length and width to become (2c,2d). The below graph shows the original figure in blue and the dilated larger figure in pink.

Imagine a triangle with vertices located at the points (a,b), (c,d), and (e,f). If this figure were rotated 180o about the origin, what would be the new coordinates of the triangle's vertices?
The correct answer is (-a,-b), (-c,-d), and (-e,-f). In other words, you'd just take the opposite value of each x and y value of each vertex of the triangle. The following diagram shows one set of vertexes rotated 180o about the origin to help demonstrate this.
Please note that if one of our original points had any negative values, such as the point (2,-2), and we rotated it 180o about the origin, the signs of both the x and y values would change, and this point's image after translation would be (-2,2).

A rectangle's coordinate points are ,

To find the coordinates of the translated rectangle, first recall what a translation is. A translation is a shift of the original object without changing the shape of size of the object. In this particular case the starting coordinates of the rectangle are given and the goal is to move the rectangle down seven units. A shift down means a algebraic change in the coordinate.

If each point on the rectangle is shifted down seven units it results in the following
Therefore, the coordinate points of the translated rectangle are
These coordinates can also be found algebraically by subtracting seven from each value.
