Geometric and Logical Reasoning: Transformations Using Matrices VIII.B Student Activity Sheet 4: Transformations Using Matrices You have learned a lot about points in a coordinate plane throughout your mathematical career. You have also learned about matrices and how they can help when dealing with large amounts of data. Let's explore how you can combine these two ideas. Below is a matrix representing the three vertices of a triangle, AABC. 1. Make sense of this information. How do you think the information is organized? 2. Explain how a matrix can be used to represent an image. 3. You are going to use matrices to represent images and then move them around! Create a character (such as a face or stick figure) in Quadrant 1, using at least eight points. Write a matrix to represent these points. 4. Write a matrix that, if added to the matrix defining your figure, translates your figure into the third quadrant
