Rotations

What are Rotations?

A Reflection is a Transformation in which you rotate a shape around a point. The point doesn't have to be touching the shape, it can be anywhere on a graph.

Examples

Here are a few examples of Rotations:

Example #1

Rotation Example Image

In this example, we rotate the square around the point. We can tell how it is rotated by the text on the square.

Example #2

Rotation Example Image

In this example, we rotate the cat around the point. We can call this a "90 degree clockwise rotate around the point".

Example #3

Rotation Example Image

In this example, we rotate the cat around the point. It's the same as the previous example, except that we rotate it 180 degrees instead of 90. We can call this a "180 degree rotate around the point".
