Transformations!

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

A translation is a type of transformation that slides a geometric figure horizontally, vertically, or both without changing its shape or orientation.

Front

Write the rule for a translation that moves a point 2 units to the right and 1 unit down.

Back

(x + 2, y - 1)

Front

What is a reflection in geometry?

Back

A reflection is a transformation that flips or mirrors an object across a line.

Front

What is the pre-image in a transformation?

Back

The pre-image is the original figure before any transformation is applied.

Front

Identify the transformation that occurs when a figure is flipped across the x-axis.

Back

Reflection across the x-axis.

Front

What is the difference between a translation and a reflection?

Back

A translation slides a figure without changing its orientation, while a reflection flips a figure over a line.

Front

What is the result of a transformation called?

Back

The result of a transformation is called the image.

Front

What does it mean for a transformation to be rigid?

Back

A rigid transformation preserves the shape and size of a figure.

Front

What is a rotation in geometry?

Back

A rotation is a transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point at a certain angle.

Front

How do you identify the line of reflection?

Back

The line of reflection is the line across which the figure is flipped to create the image.
