Representing Reflections with Transformations


Description

In this lesson, students apply complex multiplication from Lesson 14 to construct a transformation of the plane that reflects across a given line. So far, students have only looked at linear transformations of the form 𝐿: ℂ → ℂ by 𝐿(𝑧) = 𝑤𝑧 for a complex number 𝑤, and all such linear transformations have the geometric effect of rotation by arg(𝑤) and dilation by |𝑤|.
