Front

What is a transformation in the coordinate plane?

Back

A transformation in the coordinate plane is an operation that moves or changes a shape in a specific way, such as translation, rotation, reflection, or dilation.

Define translation in the context of transformations.

Back

Translation is a transformation that 'slides' a figure in a straight line from one position to another without changing its shape, size, or orientation.

What does reflection mean in transformations?

Back

Reflection is a transformation that flips a figure over a line, creating a mirror image of the original figure.

How do you identify a translation in coordinate notation?

Back

A translation can be identified in coordinate notation as (x + a, y + b), where 'a' and 'b' are the horizontal and vertical shifts, respectively.
