How Do We Do Compositions of Transformation?

Composition of Transformations-When two or more transformations are combined to form a new transformation , the result is called a composition of transformation 

Example:  (2,6)










Always do second transformation first

First reflect (2,6) over the x-axis.
    x-axis (x,y)---(x,-y)
              (2,6)---(2,-6)

Second dilation by multiplying by 2 in both x and y
     2 multiplied by 2= 4  x=4
    -6 multiplied by 2=-12 y=-12
                    (4,-12)

Final answer=(4,-12)
