2. Rotations
A rotation is a turn that moves every point of an image through a specified angle and direction about a fixed point.

3. Concept

4. Rotate 90° Graph the point A (-2, 4)
Graph the image of A’ under a rotation of 90° counterclockwise about the origin

5. Rotate 180° Graph the point B (2, -5)

11. Composition of transformations
When a transformation is applied to a figure and then another transformation is applied to its image, the result is called a composition of transformations.

19. Example 3
Reflect a Figure in Two Lines
Copy and reflect figure EFGH in line p and then line q. Then describe a single transformation that maps EFGH onto E''F''G''H''.

20. Example 3
Reflect a Figure in Two Lines
Step 1 Reflect EFGH in line p.

21. Example 3 Step 2 Reflect E'F'G'H' in line q.
Reflect a Figure in Two Lines
Step 2 Reflect E'F'G'H' in line q.
Answer: EFGH is transformed onto E''F''G''H'' by a translation down a distance that is twice the distance between lines p and q.
