2. Tap [Draw], [Construct], and then [Rotation].
• This highlights
F on the toolbar.
3. Tap the screen once to select the center of rotation.
• This displays the Rotation dialog box.

2. Draw triangle ABC, and then select its three sides.
3. Tap [Draw], [Construct], and then [General Transform]. This displays the
Transform dialog box.
4. Enter the matrix for the transform.
• In this example, let’s input [[1, 0], [0, −1]].
5. Tap [OK]. This draws triangle A’B’C’, which is symmetrical to triangle ABC
about the x -axis.
6. Tap anywhere outside of the triangles to deselect the currently selected
triangle. Next, select triangle A’B’C’.
7. Tap [Draw], [Construct], and then [General Transform].
