- understand define the term glide reflection.
- apply the series of footprints can be described as a series of glide reflections. the composition of two identical glide reflections, for example, from the first step to the third, is equivalent to what rigid motion?
1.
Step1: Recall identity motion
The identity motion (a translation by the zero - vector or a rotation by 0 degrees or a reflection over the same line twice etc.) maps a figure onto itself. For example, a translation \(T_{(0,0)}\) followed by a rotation \(R_{O,0}\) (rotation about a point \(O\) by 0 degrees) will map \(\triangle ABC\) to \(\triangle ABC\). Another example is a reflection \(r_l\) over a line \(l\) followed by the same reflection \(r_l\) again. The composition of two identity - like rigid motions will map the triangle onto itself.
Step1: First perform reflection \(r_m\)
The equation of line \(m\) is \(y = 2\). The rule for reflecting a point \((x,y)\) over the line \(y = k\) is \((x,2k - y)\). So, \(r_m(x,y)=(x,4 - y)\)
Step2: Then perform translation \(T_{(- 2,0)}\)
The rule for translation \(T_{(a,b)}\) is \((x,y)\to(x + a,y + b)\). So, \(T_{(-2,0)}(x,4 - y)=(x-2,4 - y)\)
Step1: First perform reflection \(r_m\)
The equation of line \(m\) is \(y = 2\). The rule for reflecting a point \((x,y)\) over the line \(y=k\) is \((x,2k - y)\). So, \(r_m(x,y)=(x,4 - y)\)
Step2: Then perform translation \(T_{(0,-5)}\)
The rule for translation \(T_{(a,b)}\) is \((x,y)\to(x + a,y + b)\). So, \(T_{(0,-5)}(x,4 - y)=(x,4 - y-5)=(x,-y - 1)\)
