Front

What type of transformation is dilation?

Back

Dilation is a transformation that alters the size of a figure but maintains its shape.

Front

What happens to the coordinates of a point when it is reflected over the y-axis?

Back

The x-coordinate changes sign, while the y-coordinate remains the same.

Front

If point X is at (3, -4) and is reflected over the y-axis, what are the new coordinates?

Back

The new coordinates of point X are (-3, -4).

Front

What is the result of rotating a point 90° counterclockwise about the origin?

Back

The coordinates of the point change according to the rotation transformation.

Front
