Leap Frog
Josh is animating a scene where a troupe of frogs is auditioning for the Animal Channel reality show, “The Bayou’s Got Talent”. In this scene the frogs are demonstrating their “leap frog” acrobatics act. Josh has completed a few key images in this segment, and now needs to describe the transformations that connect various images in the scene.
For each pre‐image/image combination listed below, describe the transformation that moves the pre‐image to the final image.
• If you decide the transformation is a rotation, you will need to give the center of rotation, the direction of the rotation (clockwise or counterclockwise), and the measure of the angle of rotation.
• If you decide the transformation is a reflection, you will need to give the equation of the line of reflection.
• If you decide the transformation is a translation you will need to describe the “rise” and “run” between pre‐image points and their corresponding image points.
• If you decide it takes a combination of transformations to get from the pre‐image to the final image, describe each transformation in the order they would be completed.
| Pre-Image | Final Image | Description |
| image 1 | image 2 | |
| image 2 | image 3 | |
| image 3 | image 4 | |
| image 1 | image 5 | |
| image 2 | image 4 |
