Write each
( 2 ×5 ) +(3 ×− 2) ( 2 ×0 ) +(3 × 1) calculation out in
( −1 ×5 ) +(4 ×− 2) ( −1 ×0 ) +(4 × 1) the correct
position…

Now calculate each 4 3

 Matrix Transformations (1)

• We saw Matrices in an earlier unit, and

learnt how to solve questions involving them

• In this sequence of lessons we will learn

how to use Matrices to transform shapes in
2D (rotate, reflect etc)

• This is used in computer animation to move

characters around in movies/games etc!
 Matrix Transformations (1)
To do a Matrix Transformation, you
first need to write the coordinates of
the corners of the shape in a Matrix…

 The coordinates for the triangle are 4

(2,3)
(1,1), (2,3) and (4,1) 3

 In a Matrix, these look like this: 2

(4,1)

 1 2 4
[ 1 3 1 ] -5 -4 -3 -2 -1
(1,1)
1 2 3 4 5
x
-1

 We can multiply this Matrix by a -2

2 x 2 Matrix to move all the
coordinates around, and hence, -3

transform the shape! -4

So the 3 new coordinates will be: (0,1), (-1,2) and (3,4)!

 Plenary
Did you find any Matrices that do specific transformations?
 Summary
• We have seen how Matrices can be used to
transform shapes

• We have seen that the coordinates of a shape

can be written as a Matrix

• Next lesson we will look at how to work out

what transformation a Matrix will do, and how
to find a Matrix for a particular
transformation!
