Case II. When the axes of reflections intersect at a point A
Q Q'
Let Q be a point on the plane and AB and CD are two
axes of reflections intersect each other at point O. M
If Q' be the reflection of Q about AB and Q" be the image N C
of Q' about CD. QQ' intersects AB at M and Q'Q" intersects CD
at N. Q" is the image of Q under the combined reflection.
Here, ®QOQ" = ®QOQ' + ®Q'OQ" Q''
=2MOQ' + 2®Q'ON D O
B
= 2(MOQ' + ®Q'ON)
=2MON
Hence, if the axes of two reflections intersect at a point, then the reflection followed by reflection is
a rotation. The centre of rotation is the point of intersection of two axes and the angle of rotation is twice
the angle between two axes and the direction is towards the second axes.
Example 3: If the image of a point (2, a) under the reflection in Y-axis followed by reflection in the
line y = 4 is (– 2, 3), find the value of a.
Solution:
The image of point (2, a) under the reflection in Y-axis is (– 2, a).
The final image of point (– 2, a) under the reflection on the line y = 4 is (– 2, 2 × 4 – a) i.e. (– 2, 8 – a).
From question, the final image is (– 2, 3). So,
(– 2, 8 – a) = (– 2, 3)
or, 8 – a = 3
or, a = 8 – 3
\ a = 5
Example 4: If R1 is the reflection about y = 4 and R2, the reflection about y = – x, find R2R1 (– 8, 2). Show
that R2R1 is a rotation.
Solution:
y = –x Y
Let A(– 8, 2) is the given point. A''(-6,8)
Reflecting about y = 4,
P(x, y) → P'(x, 2 × 4 – y) A'(-8,6)
So, for reflection R1, M(-4,4) y=4 Transformation
A(– 8, 2) → A'(– 8, 2 × 4 – 2)
i.e. A'(– 8, 6) A(-8,2) OX
Reflecting about y = – x, X'
P(x, y) → P'(– y, – x)
So, for reflection R2, Y'
A'(– 8, 6) → A"(– 6, 8)
Hence, image of point A(– 8, 2) under the combined transformation R2R1 is A"(– 6, 8).
As the lines of reflection R1 and R2 intersect each other at point (–4, 4), R2R1 is a rotation through – 90°
about centre M(– 4, 4).
Combination of Reflections / 247
As P(x, y) (a, b), – 90° P'(y – b + a, – x + a + b)
A(– 8, 2) (–4, 4), – 90° A1{2 – 4 + (– 4), – (– 8) + (– 4) + 4} i.e. A1(– 6, 8)
Hence, from above result A" and A1 are same and R2R1 is a rotation.
Example 5: Find the co-ordinates of the vertices of the image of DABC having the vertices A(3, 1),
B(4, – 1) and C(6, 2) under reflection in the line x – y = 0 followed by another reflection in Y-axis.
Show the above combined transformation on a graph.
Solution:
Here, the vertices of DABC are A(3, 1), B(4, – 1) and C(6, 2). First reflect DABC on the line x – y =
0 i.e. y = x. Y C'
As, P(x, y) y = x P'(y, x), we have C"
A(3, 1) → A'(1, 3)
B(4, – 1) → B'(– 1, 4) B' B" C
A" A'
C(6, 2) → C'(2, 6)

Again reflect DA'B'C' on Y-axis.
As, P(x, y) Y-axis P'(– x, y), we have X' O X

A'(1, 3) → A"(– 1, 3) Y'
B'(– 1, 4) → B"(1, 4)
C'(2, 6) → C"(–2, 6)
Showing the above transformation on a graph.
Alterantely,
We have, the axes of reflection x – y = 0 and Y-axis Y
intersect each other at origin O making an angle of 45°. So, the C1
combined reflection in the line x – y = 0 followed by reflection
in Y-axis is a single rotation through 2 × 45° = 90° about

The image of combined reflection is directly obtained as follows: B X

As, P(x, y) [(0,0),90°] P'(– y, x), we have X' O

Rotation is a kind of transformation in which an object is rotated
through certain angle about the given centre. In the given figure the
triangle T is rotated through 90° about C. The object and the image in
rotation are congurent.
If P(x, y) be a point on the plane and P' be the image of P
under the various rotations, then
1. Rotation through 90° about O(0, 0), 4. Rotation through 90° about M(a, b),
P(x, y) + 90°, O(0, 0) P'(– y, x) P(x, y) + 90°, M(a, b) P'(– y + a + b, x – a + b)
– 270°, O(0, 0) – 270°, M(a, b)
2. Rotation through 180° about O(0, 0), 5. Rotation through 180° about M(a, b),

– 90°, O(0, 0) – 90°, M(a, b)
Two Rotations
A point or an object once rotated can further be rotated. There are two cases for the combination of
two rotations.
Case I : When the centres of two rotations are same.
Case II : When the centres of two rotations are different.
Case I. When the centres of two rotations are same Y P'(4,2) Transformation
X
Let P(2, – 4) be a point on the plane and O(0, 0) be the O
centre of rotation. P'(4, 2) be the image of P(2, – 4) under the rotation X' P(2,-4)
through 90º about O(0, 0). Again, P"(– 4, – 2) be the image of
P'(4, 2) under the rotation through 180º about the same origin P''(-4,-2)
O(0, 0). P"(– 4, – 2) is the image of P(2, – 4) under the combined Y'
rotation.
Here, reflex ®POP"
=®POP' + ®P'OP"
= 90º + 180º
= 270º
Hence, if the centres of two rotations are same, then the rotation followed by rotation is a rotation.
The centre of single rotation is the common centre of two rotations and the angle of the single rotation is
the sum of the angles of two rotations in the same direction.
Example 1: If R1 = rotation of +90° about (0, 0) and R2 = rotation of +90° about (0, 0), find the image
as indicated.

Combination of Rotations / 251
Solution:
a. Here, R1R2(3, 4) = R2 followed by R 1 b. Here, R2R1(– 4, 2) = R1 followed by R2
=R1(– 4, 3) =R2(– 2, – 4)
= (– 3, – 4) = (4, – 2)
\ R1R2(3, 4) = (– 3, – 4) \ R2R1(– 4, 2) = (4, – 2)
Example 2: If R1 represents a positive quarter turn about origin and R2, a half turn about the origin.
Find R2R1(DABC), where A(6, 1), B(2, 2) and C(5, 4) are the vertices of DABC. Also represent the
transformation on a graph.
Solution:
Here, R1 = rotation of +90° about origin and R2 = rotation YC
of 180° about origin.
As R1 and R2 are the rotations about same centre (0, 0), X' B A
the centre of combined rotation R2R1 is (0, 0) and the angle of X
combined rotation is 90° + 180° = 270°. O

Thus the image under this combined rotation is given by

Let A(3, – 2), B(5, – 2) and C(3, – 5) be the vertices of B'' A" Y C'
a ∆ABC. ∆ABC is rotated through 90º about O(0, 0) to get
the image ∆A'B'C'. ∆A'B'C' is further rotated through 180º 5
about the point M(0, 3) to get the image A"B"C".
∆A"B"C" is the image of ∆ABC under the combined 4 B'
rotation. Angle of rotation is 90º + 180º = 270º. C'' M(0,3) A'
For the centre of rotation, join two vertices A and B

Hence, if the centre of two rotations are different, then the rotation followed by rotation is a rotation.
The angle of rotation of combined rotation is the sum of the angles of two rotations and centre of combined
rotation is obtained by drawing the perpendicular bisectors of the lines joining any two points of given
object with their corresponding final images.

7.4 Combination of Enlargements
Review
An object is enlarged about any point with given scale factor. In the
given figure triangle T is enlarged about O with scale factor 2. The object
and image in enlargement are similar to each other.
If P(x, y) be a point on the plane and P' be the image of P under the T'
various enlargements, then
1. Enlargement with centre O(0, 0) and scale factor k, T
P(x, y) → P'(kx, ky)
2. Enlargement with centre M(a, b) and scale factor k, C
P(x, y) → P'{k(x – a) + a, k(y – b) + b}
Two Enlargements
A point or an object once enlarged (reduced) can further be enlarged (or reduced). The single
transformation equivalent to above two transformations can be studied in two different cases.
Case I : When centres of two enlargements are same.
Case II : When centres of two enlargements are different.
Case I. When centres of two enlargements are same Y B''
Let AB be a line segment having ends A(2, 1)
and B(1, 2). AB is enlarged with centre O(0,0) and scale
factor 2 i.e. E1[O, 2]. If A'B' be the image of AB under
this enlargement then A'B' = 2AB and the ends of A'B' are
A'(4, 2) and B'(2, 4). Again A'B' is enlarged about O with scale factor B' A' A''
B X
3 i.e. E2[O, 3]. If A"B" be the image of A'B' under this enlargement
then A"B" = 3A'B' and the ends of A"B" are A"(12, 6) and
B"(6, 12). X' O A
Now, A"B" = 3A'B' = 3(2AB) = 6AB.
Similarly, the image of the points A(2, 1) and B(1, 2) under Y'
the enlargement E[O, 6] are A(2, 1) → A1(6 × 2, 6 × 1) i.e. A1(12, 6) and B(1, 2) → B1(6 × 1, 6 × 2) Transformation
i.e. B1(6, 12) which are the points A" and B" respectively.
Hence, A"B" is the image of AB under the enlargement with centre O(0, 0) and scale factor 6 i.e. 2×3.
∴ AB E1[O, 2] A'B', A'B' E2[O, 3] A"B". Hence, E2[O, 3]°E1[O, 2] = E[O, 2×3] = E[O, 6].
Example 1: A point (a, 3) is first transformed by E1[(0, 0), 2] and then by E2 [(0, 0), 2 ] so that the final
3
image is (8, b – 3). Find the values of a and b.
Solution:
Here, E1[(0, 0), 2] and E2[(0, 0), 23] are given two enlargements. As these two enlargements have the
same centre (0, 0), the (0, 0) and scale factor 2
combination of these transformations has centre at × 2 = 34.

7.5 Combination of Different Transformations
Introduction
An object can be transformed successively by two different transformations instead of the same
transformations. Translation followed by rotation, reflection followed by rotation, enargement followed by
rotation etc. are some examples of combination of different transformations.
Consider P(x, y) be a point which is rotated through – 90° about origin, its image will be P'(y, – x).
Again the image P'(y, – x) is translated by the vector Y
a
b then its new image will be P"(y + a, – x + b). a
b P"(y+a,-x+b)
Here, if R = rotation through – 90° about origin an T
a P'(y,-x)
= translation by b , then P(x,y) 90°
T⸰R(x, y) = T(y, – x) = (y + a, – x + b)
\ T⸰R(x, y) = (y + a, – x + b) X' O X
Example 1: A' is the image obtained by rotating A(– 2, 3) through + 90° aboutYo'rigin. If A" is the image
of A' obtained by translation 5 , find the co-ordinates of A' and A".
Solution: –2
The point A(– 2, 3) is rotated through + 90° about origin. So, its image is A'(– 3, – 2).
5
Again the image A'(– 3, – 2) is translated by – 2 , so we obtain the co-ordinates of the final image is
A"(– 3 + 5, – 2 – 2) i.e. A"(2, – 4).
Example 2: If R = reflection on the line y – x = 0 and E = enlargement with scale factor 2 and centre at
origin, what is the image of (3, 10) under the combined transformation R⸰E and E⸰R?
Solution:
Here, R = reflection on the line y – x = 0 or, y = x. Hence, P(x, y) P'(y, x)
E = enlargement of scale factor 2 and centre at origin. Hence, P(x, y) P'(2x, 2y)
Now, R⸰E(3, 10) = R(2 × 3, 2 × 10) And, E⸰R(3, 10) = E(10, 3)
= R(6, 20) = (2 × 10, 2 × 3)
= (20, 6) = (20, 6)
Hence, R⸰E(3, 10) = (20, 6). Hence, E⸰R(3, 10) = (20, 6).
Therefore, in this example, R⸰E(3, 10) = E⸰R(3, 10).
Example 3: If R1 = reflection on the line x + y = 0 and R2 = rotation through + 90° about origin, what
point should have the image (3, – 6) under the combined transformation R1⸰R2?
Solution:
Here, R1 = reflection in the line x + y = 0 i.e y = – x and R2 = rotation through + 90° about origin.
Let A(x, y) be a point then
R1⸰R2(x, y) = R2 followed by R1
=R1(– y, x) = (– x, y)
By question the image under the combined transformation R1⸰R2 is (3, – 6).
260 / Optional Mathematics Class 10
i.e. (– x, y) = (3, – 6)
\ x = – 3 and y = – 6.
Hence, the required point is (– 3, – 6).
Example 4: If T denotes the translation a and E denotes the enlargement with centre O and scale
4
factor – 2, the point (– 2, 4) has image (7, 2b) under the combined transformation T⸰E. Find the
values of a and b.
Solution:
a
Here, T = 4 be the given translation and E be the enlargement with centre O and scale factor – 2.
Now, we have T⸰E(– 2, 4) = T(– 2 × – 2, – 2 × 4) = T(4, – 8)
= (4 + a, – 8 + 4)
= (4 + a, – 4)
By question T⸰E(– 2, 4) = (7, 2b), so we have
(4 + a, – 4) = (7, 2b)
So, 4 + a = 7 and – 4 = 2b
or, a = 7 – 4 \ b = – 2
\a=3
Hence, a = 3 and b = – 2.
Example 5: If a triangle ABC has vertices A(1, 3), B(1, 6) and C(3, 5), find the co–ordinates of the
image ∆A'B'C' after positive quarter turn about origin. Find the image ∆A"B"C" of the ∆A'B'C'
after the reflection in Y–axis.
Solution:
As, A(1, 3), B(1, 6) and C(3, 5) are the vertices of ∆ABC. The image under the positive quarter turn
(rotation through 90º) about origin is
P(x, y) → P'(– y, x)
Hence, A(1, 3) → A'(– 3, 1)
B(1, 6) → B'(– 6, 1)
C(3, 5) → C'(– 5, 3)
∆A'B'C' is the image of ∆ABC under the rotation of positive quarter turn about origin. Again, the Transformation
image under the reflection about Y–axis is P(x, y) → P'(– x, y)
Hence, A'(– 3, 1) → A"(3, 1)
B'(– 6, 1) → B"(6, 1)
C'(– 5, 3) → C"(5, 3)
∴ ∆A"B"C" is the image of ∆A'B'C' under the reflection about Y–axis.
Example 6: A triangle ABC having vertices at A(1, 1), B(2, 3) and C(4, 2) is transformed to ∆A'B'C' by
– 8
an enlargement with centre O(0, 0) and scale factor 2 followed by a translation with a vector – 7
. Find the co-ordinates of ∆A'B'C' and draw ∆ABC and ∆A'B'C' on the same graph.
Combination of Different Transformations / 261
Solution:
The vertices of ∆ABC are A(1, 1), B(2, 3) and C(4, 2). Let ∆A1B1C1 be the image of ∆ABC after an
enlargement with centre O(0, 0) and scale factor 2, then
Y
A(1, 1) → A1(2 × 1, 2 × 1) i.e. A1(2, 2)
B(2, 3) → B1(2 × 2, 2 × 3) i.e. B1(4, 6) B1
C(4, 2) → C1(2 × 4, 2 × 2) i.e. C1(8, 4) B1
Again, ∆A1B1C1 is translated with a vector – 8 to get B C X
image ∆A'B'C', then
– 7 A1
A
A1(2, 2) → A'(2 – 8, 2 – 7) i.e. A'(–6, –5) X' B' O
B1(4, 6) → B'(4 – 8, 6 – 7) i.e. B'(–4, –1) C'

7.6 Inversion Tranformation
The transformations that we have studied in earlier classes, all had the property that every straight
line has been mapped to a straight line. Transformations with this property are called linear. We will now
investigate a specific transformation which is not linear, that is, sometimes lines are mapped to point sets
which are not lines. A P'
Inversion Circle
Reflection is one of the tranformations, we have studied in previous P
classes. We have got the idea of the reflection of a point or a line or a shape on OB
a straight line as axis. The images are congruent to their corresponding objects.
Here, we will have the idea of the reflection of a point on a curve (concave or
convex). When we reflect a point on a concave or convex curve (an arc of a C
circle), we get its image as a point. When we observe our face in concave (or
convex) mirror, our image is not congruent to our face. Similarly, when we reflect a straight line segment
on the curve, its image will be a curve, not a straight line segment. So, this tranformation is an example of
inversion transformation. To get the image under the concave or convex curve (or mirror), we have to
comptele the given curve as a complete circle on its curvature. In the given figure, to find the image of point
P under the reflection in the given curve AB, we have to complete a circle with AB as an arc of the circle
as shown. In the figure, ABC is the circle of radius r which is centered at O. For any point P, P ≠ O , the
inverse (image) of P is the unique point P' on the ray starting from O and passing through P such that OP
× OP' = r2. The point O is called the centre of inversion and circle ABC is called the circle of inversion,
while r is called the radius of inversion. We refer to the mapping P→P' as inversion with respect to the
circle ABC. Note that if P is inside the circle then P' will be outside the circle and vice versa.
When a point P is given inside the circle with centre at O and radius r. A P'
The inversion point P' is on the ray OP outside the circle. To find the point P',
drop a perpendicular to OP through P which intersect the circumference of the OP
circle at A and B. Construct a tangent to the cirlce at A and B and both these B
tangents intersect each other a point P' on OP. Here, we can prove that OP × OP' = r2
by joining joining OA. From two similar triangles, DOAB and DOP'P,
OOPA' = OP = AP Transformation
OA PP'
i.e. OP × OP' = OA2 = r2.
Similarly, when a point Q is inside the given circle with centre at O and A
radius r. The inversion point Q' is on the ray OQ inside the circle. To find the O Q' M Q
point Q', find a point M which is mid-point of OQ. Draw a circle with centre B
at M and diameter OQ. The new circle intersects the given circle at A and B as
shwon in the figure. Join AB theat intersect OQ at Q' and we can prove that OQ
× OQ' = r2. For this proof, draw a tangent AP and join OA. The triangle DOAP
and DOPA are similar, then by the property of similar triangles, we have,
OA = OQ = AQ
OQ' OA OQ'
Inversion Tranformation / 265
i.e. OP × OP' = OA2 = r2.
If P' and Q' are the points of inversion of P and Q with respect to the circle P'
with centre at O and radius r. Join two trianlges OPQ and OP'Q' as shown in the
figure, then by the definition of inversion points P
O Q Q'
OP × OP' = OQ × OQ' = r2 i.e. OP = OOPQ'.
OQ' B
Again, POQ and Q'OP' are the common angles of both the triangles
DOPQ and DOQ'P'. Now, from the theorem of similar triangles, DOPQ and
DOQ'P' are similar.
Example 1: In the given figure, O is the centre of inversion circle with radius r A
and P' is the inversion point of P. If OP = 2cm and r = 4cm, find OP'. r
Solution:
Here, radius of inversion, OA = r = 4cm O P P'
We have, OP × OP' = r2
or, 2 2 × OP' = 42
or, OP' = 16 = 8 = 4 2
22 2
Hence, OP' = 4 2 cm
Example 2: Let O be the circle with centre at the origin and radius 1. Find inversion with respect to this
circle for the following points: (2, 0), (0, 2), (0, 1), (0, – 2), (– 3, 0), (0, – 1/2), (1/5, 0) and (– 1, 0).
Solution:
Here, the centre of inversion is O(0, 0) and radius r = 1. For the point P(2, 0), OP = 22 + 02 = 2 and
the image of P lies on the line OP i.e. X-axis. So, let P'(a, 0) be the image, then
OP × OP' = r2 = 1 Y

circle for the following points. (0, – 1), (– 4, 0), (– 1, 0), (0, – 2), (2, 2), (– 2, 2) and (3, 3).
Solution:
Here, the centre of inversion is O(0, 0) and radius r = 2. For the point P(0, – 1), OP = 02 + (–1)2 = 1
and the image of P lies on the line OP i.e. Y-axis. So, let P'(0, a) be the image, then
OP × OP' = r2 = 4
or, 1 × OP' = 4
or, OP' = 4 Y
or, 02 + a2 = 4
or, a2 = 16 4
or, a = ± 4
As point P(0, –1) lies on the negative Y-axis, the Q
image of P(0, – 1) is P'(0, – 4). 2

Now, for the point Q(– 2, 2), OQ = = (–2)2 + 22 = 2 2. The X' O-4 -2 2 4 X
image of Q lies on the line OQ which is y = – x. As, y = – x P
lies in the second and the fourth quadrant, let Q'(a, a) be the
image of Q, then -2
OQ × OQ' = r2 = 4
or, 2 2 × OQ' = 4 P'
or, OQ' = 2 -4 Y'
or, a2 + a2 = 2
or, 2a2 = 2
or, a = ± 1
As, Q lies in the second quadrant, its image Q' is at (– 1, 1).
And the remaining given points are (– 4, 0), (– 1, 0), (0, – 2), (2, 2), (– 2, 2) and (3, 3). As the inversion or the Transformation

Finding Inversion Point
Let C(h, k) be the centre of inversion and r the radius of inversion. P(x, y) be any point and
P'(x', y') the inversion point of P with respect to the given circle. Y P'(x',y')
Let us draw CA⊥OX, PB⊥OX and P'D⊥OX and also
draw CN⊥P'D which intersects PB at M. C P (x,y)
Here, CM = AB = OB – OA = x – h, CN = AD (h,k) M N
= OD – OA = x' – h, PM = PB – MB = y – k, P'N = P'D – ND
= y' – k and PC2 = (x – h)2 + (y – k)2.
Now, DCP'N ~ DCPM and hence,
CN = P'N = P'C X' O AB DX
CM PM PC Y' P'
or, CN = P'N = P'C × PC
CM PM PC PC
or, CN = P'N = PrC2 2 [P'C × PC = r2]
CM PM
or, x' – h = y' – k = (x – h)2 r2 (y – k)2 P y'–k
x – h y – k +
y–k
Equating the first and the second ratio with the third one, we get
C x–h M C x'–h N
x' – h = (x – h)2 r2 (y – k)2 and y' – k = (x – h)2 r2 (y – k)2
x – h + y – k +
or, x' – h = (x – r2(x – h) k)2 or, y' – k = (x – r2(y – k) k)2
h)2 + (y – h)2 + (y –
r2(x – h) r2(y – k)
\ x' = (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 + h \ y' = (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 + k
Hence, the inversion point of P(x, y) with respect to the circle with centre at C(h, k) and radius r is
P'(x', y') = P' (x – r2(x – h) k)2 + h, (x – r2(y – k) k)2 + k .
h)2 + (y – h)2 + (y –
From this relation, if centre, object and image are given, then we can find the radius of inversion from the
following relations.
Here, x' = (x – r2(x – h) k)2 + h ⇒ x' – h = (x – r2(x – h) k)2 ⇒ r2 = (x' – h) {(x – h)2 + (y – k)2}
h)2 + (y – h)2 + (y – x – h
Similarly, y' = (x – r2(y – k) k)2 + k ⇒ y' – k = (x – r2(y – k) k)2 ⇒ r2 = (y' – k) {(x – h)2 + (y – k)2}
h)2 + (y – h)2 + (y – y – k
When the centre of inversion is origin, the image of point P(x, y) can be found as P'(x', y') = P' r2x , r2y .
x2 + y2 x2 + y2
Again, the centre can be found when object point and image point are given by the relation
Here, x' = r2x ⇒ r2 = x' (x2 + y2) and y' = r2y ⇒ r2 = y' (x2 + y2)
x2 + y2 x x2 + y2 y

Here, h = 2, k = 3, x = 2, y = 3, x' = 6 and y' = 3.

7.7 Transformation using Matrices
We have already discussed different types of transformations like translation, reflection, rotation
and enlargement. The image of a point or an object under these transformations can be obtained by using
2 × 1 and 2 × 2 matrices as follows.
Translation using 2×1 Matrices Y
aa P'(x+a,y+b)
The column vector b can be written as 2 × 1 matrix b
a
a b
. Hence 2 × 1 matrix b describes a translation of a unit in the
a
P(x,y) b
horizontal direction and b units along vertical direction as shown
X' O X
in figure. Y'
Now, if we write the co-ordinates of any point P(x, y) in the
xa
form of a position vector y and is added with a translation vector T = b we get the position vector of
x a x+a x+a x
a new point y + b = y + b . Clearly the new point P' y + b is the image of point P y under the
a
translation through T = b .
Example 1: Find the image of point A(2, 3) under the translation through translation vector T = 4
and show them in the same graph. 2
Solution: Y
The given point is A(2, 3) and the translation vector A'(6,4)
T= 4 . The image of A under the given translation is 2 units
2
A(2,3) 4 units
2 + 4 = 2+4 = 6 .
3 2 3+2 5 OX
Transformation
X'
Hence, the image of A(2, 3) under the given translation is
A'(6, 5) as shown in figure. Y'
Transformations using 2×2 Matrices
a b
If the position vector of any point P(x, y) be pre-multiplied by a 2 × 2 matrix c d , the position
x' x' a b x ax + by
vector of P is transformed into a new point y' . i.e. y' = c d y = cx + dy .
Transformation using Matrices / 273
ax + by x a b
Hence, cx + dy be the image of y under the transformation using a 2 × 2 matrix c d .
1 2
For example, a 2 × 2 matrix 3 4 transformed a point P(3, 4) as follows. Writing point (3, 4) in
3 1 2 1 2 3 3 + 8 11
matrix form, 4 and pre-multiplying this point by 3 4 , we have 3 4 4 = 9 + 16 = 25 . Hence,
1 2
image of P(3, 4) under the transformation using matrix 3 4 is P'(11, 25).
Reflections using 2×2 Matrices
The image of P(x, y) under the reflection in X-axis is P'(x, – y).
i.e. P(x, y) X-axis P'(x, – y)
Reflection
If P'(x', y') be the image of P(x, y) under the reflection in X-axis, then
x' x 1 × x + 0 × y 1 0 x
y' = – y = 0 × x – 1 × y = 0 – 1 y
1 0
Hence, the matrix 0 – 1 represents the reflection in X-axis.
So, the image of the point (– 5, 6) under the reflection in X-axis is obtained as
1 0 – 5 1 × (– 5) + 0 × 6 – 5
0 – 1 6 = 0 × (– 5) – 1 × 6 = – 6
– 1 0 x – x x
Similarly, 0 1 y = y is the image of y under the reflection in Y-axis.
0 1 x y x
1 0 y = x is the image of y under the reflection in the line y = x.
0 – 1 x – y x
– 1 0 y = – x is the image of y under the reflection in the line y = – x.
Example 2: Find a 2×1 matrix which transforms a point (a, b) into the point (a + 4, b – 5). Transform the
point (– 4, 6) using the same 2 × 1 matrix.
Solution:
p
Let matrix q transforms a point (a, b) to the point (a + 4, b – 5), then
a+p a+4
b + q = b – 5
p4 [Equating the corresponding elements]
\ q = – 5
4 – 4 + 4 0
The image of (– 4, 6) under the transformation by – 5 is 6 – 5 i.e. 1 .
Hence, the required image of (– 4, 6) is (0, 1).
274 / Optional Mathematics Class 10
Example 3: To what transformation is the matrix 0 1 associated ? Use this matrix to transform the point
(1, 2). 1 0
Solution:
0 1
Given tranformation matrix is 1 0 .
0 1 x 0 × x + 1 × y y 0 1
As 1 0 y = 1 × x + 0 × y = x , the matrix 1 0 is associated with the reflection in y = x.
Now, 0 1 1 0 × 1 + 1 × 2 2
1 0 2 = 1 × 1 + 0 × 2 = 1
Hence, the image of the point (1, 2) under this transformation is (2, 1).
Example 4: Find the image of ∆ABC having vertices A(– 5, 2), B(– 3, 5) and C(– 1, 3) using transformation
matrix – 1 0
Solution: 1 . Plot ∆ABC and its image on the same graph paper.
0
The ∆ABC has vertices A(– 5, 2), B(– 3, 5) and Y
C(– 1, 3). These co-ordinates are represented by a matrix as
– 5 – 3 – 1 B(-3,5) B'(3,5)
M = 2 5 3 and such matrix is called a co-ordinate matrix.
To find the resulting image of the points A, B and C by C C'
– 1 0 (-1,3) (1,3)
transformation matrix 0 1 , we multiply the matrix M by
given transformation matrix as follows. A(-5,2) A'(5,2)
X' O X
A B C A' B' C'
– 1 0 – 5 – 3 – 1 = 5 3 1 Y'
0 1 2 5 3 2 5 3
Hence, the co-ordinates of image ∆A'B'C' of ∆ABC under the transformation using given matrix Transformation
are A'(5, 2), B'(3, 5) and C'(1, 3). Drawing ∆ABC and ∆A'B'C' on the same graph, we have the given
figure.
Rotations using 2×2 Matrices
The image of P(x, y) under the rotation through 90° about origin is P'(– y, x)
i.e. P(x, y) [(0, 0), 90°] P'(– y, x)
Rotation
If P'(x', y') be the image of P(x, y) under the rotation through 90° about origin then
x' – y 0 × x – 1 × y 0 – 1 x
y' = x = 1 × x – 0 × y = 1 0 y
0 – 1
Hence, the matrix 1 0 represents the rotation through 90° about origin.
So, the image of (– 3, 8) under the rotation through 90° about origin is obtained as
Transformation using Matrices / 275
0 – 1 – 3 0.(– 3) – 1.8 – 8
1 0 8 = 1.(– 3) – 0.8 = – 3 . The image of (– 3, 8) is (– 8, – 3).
0 1 x y x
Similarly, – 1 0 y = – x is the image of y under the rotation through – 90° about origin.
–1 0 x –x x
And 0 –1 y = –y is the image of y under the rotation through 180° about origin.
Example 5: –1 0
If A(a, b) and B(c, d) are transformed by 0 –1 into A'(– 2, 3) and B'(5, – 2), find the
values of a, b, c and d.
Solution:
a c
Here, the matrix form of A(a, b) and B(c, d) is b d .
–2 5
The matrix form of A'(– 2, 3) and B(5, – 2) is 3 –2 .
–1 0 a c –2 5 –a –c –2 5
Now, 0 –1 . b d = 3 –2 i.e. –b –d = 3 –2
Equating the corresponding elements, we get
a = 2, b = – 3, c = – 5 and d = 2.
Example 6: A(1, 0), B(4, 3) and C(1, 2) are the vertices of DABC. DABC is mapped onto the DA'B'C'
whose vertices are A'(0, – 1), B'(3, – 4) and C'(2, – 1). Find the 2×2 matrix which represents this
transformation. Which is the single transformation for this mapping?
Solution:
1 4 1 0 3 2
The matrix form of the vertices of DABC and DA'B'C' are 0 3 2 and –1 –4 –1
respectively.
a b
Let c d be the required 2×2 transformation matrix, then
A B C A' B' C'
a b 1 4 1 = 0 3 2
c d 0 3 2 – 1 –4 –1
or, ca 4a + 3b a + 2b = 0 3 2
4c + 3d c + 2d – 1 –4 –1
Equating the corresponding elements of two equal matrices, we get
a = 0 Similarly, c = – 1
and a + 2b = 2 and c + 2d = – 1
or, 0 + 2b = 2 or, – 1 + 2d = – 1
\ b = 1 \ d=0
0 1
Hence, the required 2×2 matirx is – 1 0 .

Enlargements using 2×2 Matrices
The image of P(x, y) under the enlargement with centre O and scale factor k is P'(kx, ky).
i.e. P(x, y) [(0, 0), k] P'(kx, ky)
Enlargement
If P'(x', y') be the image of P(x, y) under the enlargement with centre O and scale factor k then
x' kx k×x + 0×y k 0 x
y' = ky = 0×x + k×y = 0 k y
Hence, the matrix k 0 represents the enlargement with centre O and scale factor k.

The image of (2, – 3) under the enlargement with centre O and scale factor 3 can be obtained as

or, – 3a + 3b 2a + 3b 2a + 5b – 3a + 5b = – 6 4 4 – 6
– 3c + 3d 2c + 3d 2c + 5d – 3c + 5d 6 6 10 10
Equating the corresponding elements of the above equal matrices, we get
– 3a + 3b = – 6 ... ... (1)
i.e. a – b = 2 ... ... (2)
2a + 3b = 4
– 3c + 3d = 6 ... ... (3)
i.e. c – d = – 2 ... ... (4)
2c + 3d = 6
Transformation using Matrices / 277
Solving equations (1) and (2), we get Again, solving equations (3) and (4), we get
3c – 3d = – 6 [3 × (3)]
3a – 3b = 6 [3 × (1)]
2a + 3b = 4 2c + 3d = 6
5a = 10 5c = 0
\ a = 2 \ c = 2
and b = a – 2 = 2 – 2 = 0 and d = 0 + 2 = 2
Hence, a = 2, b = 0, c = 0 and d = 2 and the required matrix is 2 0 . Y

As the co-ordinates of the vertices of ∆ABC are A(– 2, 3), B(– 4, 1) and C(1, 1), its co-ordinate

2a + b = 4 ... ... (2)
– c + d = – 7 ... ... (3)
2c + d = 2 ... ... (4)
Solving equations (1) and (2), we get Again, solving equations (3) and (4), we get
– 2a + 2b = 2 [2 × (1)] – 2c + 2d = – 14 [2 × (3)]
2a + b = 4 2c + d = 2

Median of Grouped Data
In continuous frequency distribution, the class corresponding to the cumulative frequency just greater
N
than or equal to 2 is called the median class.
Arrange the data in the ascending (or descending) order if necessary. The median is calculated by
using the following formula.
N
2 – cf
f
Median (Md) = + × h
where, = the lower limit of median class
N = the total of frequencies
cf = cumulative frequency preceeding the median class
f = the frequency of the median class
h = size of the median class
Example 1: Calculate median from the following dada:

Example 2: If the median of frequency distribution given below is 46, find the missing frequencies.

No. of Workers 12 30 ? 65 ? 25 19 230
Solution:
Let a and b be the two missing frequencies. The cumulative frequency table is as follows:
Class Frequency Cumulative frequency

Total 230
Here, N = 151 + a + b = 230
a + b = 79 ... ... (1)
Median = 46
The median class is 40 – 50.
N
2 – cf
f
Median (Md) = + × h
Where, = 40, f = 65, c.f. = 42 + a and h = 10
or, 46 = 40 + 115 – (42 + a) × 10
65
or, 6 = 115 – 42 – a ×2
13
or, 39 = 73 – a
∴ a = 73 – 39 = 34
and a + b = 79
or, 34 + b = 79
b = 79 – 34 = 45
Hence, the missing frequencies are 34 and 45.
Quartiles of Grouped Data
Quartiles of a set of data are the items which divide the total number of items into four equal parts.
Hence, there are three quartiles, the first quartile (Q1), the second quartile (Q2) and the third quartile (Q3).
In the continuous frequency distribution, quartiles are calculated by using the formula.
iN – cf

Qi = + f × h, where, i = 1, 2, 3

Here, N = 76, and the first quartile = item = = 19th item.

The third quartile = 4 item = 4 = 57th item.
Cumulative frequency just greater than 57 is 58.
Therefore, the first quartile lies in the class interval 40 – 50.

Deciles of the given data are the items which divides given set of data into ten equal parts after

In the continuous frequency distribution, deciles are calculated by using the formula.

Cumulative frequency just greater than 33.9 is 51.

So, l = 30, 10 = 33.9, cf = 26, f = 25, h = 10

Dispersion is the measure of variations in the values of the variable. It measures the degree of
scatterness (or spread out) of the observations in the given data. Quartile deviation, Mean deviation and
Standard deviation are some different tools for calculating the dispersion.
Quartile Deviation
The dispersion depending on the lower quartile (Q1) and upper quartile (Q3) is the quartile deviation.
For the given data, the quatile deviation or semi interquartile range is given by
Q.D. = Q3 – Q1 , where Q1 and Q3 are the first and third quartiles respectively.

The co-efficient of the quartile deviation is calculated by the formula,
Co-efficient of Q.D. = Q3 – Q1
Q3 + Q1
Mean Deviation
The absolute value of the deviation of the items from the average is used in the caluclation of the
mean deviation. The mean deviation is calculated from any one average of mean or median. The mean
deviation is denoted by M.D. Similarly, the another average deviation is the quartile deviation.
For continuous series, the mean deviation is given by
M.D. = ∑f|x – A|2 , where x is the mid-value of the class intervals and A is any average mean ( ‒x )
N
or median (Md) or mode (Mo).
The co-efficient of the mean deviation is calculated by the formula,
Co-efficient of M.D. = M.D.

Third quartile (Q3) = item = item = item.
Cumulative frequency equal to or just greater than 60 is 75. So, Q3 lies in the corresponding class i.e.

The quartile deviation (Q.D.) = Q3 – Q1 = 63.33 – 28 = 35.33 = 17.67

Now, the co-efficient of Q.D. is Q3 – Q1 = 63.33 – 28 = 35.33 = 0.39
Q3 + Q1 63.33 + 28 91.33
Hence, the quartile deviation is 17.67 and its co-efficient is 0.39.
