A few notes about Transformtion Rules:
Translations: Ta,b(x,y) = (x± a, y±b)
If movement is RIGHT, then a is positive. If movement is LEFT, then a is negative.
If movement is UP, then b is positive. If movement is DOWN, then b is negative.
Rotations:
90° clockwise rotation is the same as 270° counterclockwise
90° counterclockwise rotation is the same as 270° clockwise
