Sequence of Transformations
See It in Action
Two examples of the idea done right—and one common look-alike that is not right.

Definition
A sequence of transformations is a set of two or more transformations applied in a specific order to a figure on the coordinate plane.
Key Points:
Each transformation is performed on the result of the previous one.
The sequence can include translations, reflections, rotations, and dilations.
The order matters — changing the order can lead to a different final image.
A sequence can also be called a composition of transformations.
Example:
If a triangle is rotated 90°, then reflected over a line, the result is different than if you reflect first and then rotate. This is a sequence of two transformations.
