Course description

In this course you'll manipulate points and shapes on the coordinate plane with translations, rotations, reflections and dilations. You'll learn to think of these transformations both intuitively and as algebraic functions applied to the x and y coordinates.


Topics covered

  • Translation
  • Rotation
  • Reflection
  • Dilation
  • Stretching
  • Composed and inverse functions
  • Congruence and similarity
  • Line and rotational symmetry

Prerequisites and next steps

Familiarity with the coordinate plane and basic functions is an expected pre-requisite. Next steps include further courses on functions and the polar and complex plane.
