This example demonstrates the process of glide reflection. It involves the core mathematical concepts of reflection and translation. Using GeoGebra commands such as Intersect, Vector, Translate, Point, Line, and Mirror, the glide reflection effect can be constructed. Suitable for middle school and above students or teachers for teaching geometric transformations.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Intersect(xAxis, yAxis) → C
  2. Vector(C, D) → u
  3. Translate(pic1, u) → pic1'
  4. Point(yAxis) → E
  5. Line(E, u) → a
  6. Mirror(pic1', a) → pic1''
