How do you determine the invariant point in a transformation of a relation?

the invarient point is the points of the graph that is unaltered by the transformation. If point (5,0) stays as (5,0) after a transformation than it is a invariant point The above just defines an invariant point... Here's a method for finding them: If the transformation M is represented by a square matrix with n rows and n columns, write the equation; Mx=x Where M is your transformation, and x is a matrix of order nx1 (n rows, 1 column) that consists of unknowns (could be a, b, c, d,.. ). Then just multiply out and you'll get n simultaneous equations, whichever values of a, b, c, d,... satisfy these are the invariant points of the transformation


What geometric figure has no length or width?

Strictly speaking, the only geometric item that has neither length nor width is a "point", but as such, it is not considered a "figure". A geometric figure is defined as a "set of points". I suppose a point could be thought of as a set containing only one element, but that rather contradicts the intention of the definition where it refers to points in the plural.As Euclid defined it: A figure is that which is contained by any boundary or boundaries.

What is a transformation that proportionally reduces or enlarges a figure?

There are 4 transformations and they are:- 1 Enlargement which reduces or increases a shape proportionally 2 Rotation moves a shape around a fixed point 3 Reflection which produces a mirror image 4 Translation which moves a shape into a different position
