Would this message look different if you were viewing it from a plane above the message instead of on the ground?

We’ve moved it!Now how do we tell the computer to move from the original points to the finished points in ONE algebraic command?

Algebraic Transformations• Reflection across the x-axis

• 90 Clockwise Rotation about the origin

• 50% larger Dilation

• Translation 3 units left, 10 units up

• One transformation to tell the computer in ONE step
