What is a rigid transformation?

Back

A rigid transformation is a transformation that preserves the shape and size of a figure, meaning the figure's dimensions remain unchanged.

Define translation in the context of rigid transformations.

Back

Translation is a rigid transformation that slides a figure from one position to another without rotating or flipping it.

What is a rotation in rigid transformations?

Back

A rotation is a rigid transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point, known as the center of rotation, by a certain angle.

What is reflection in rigid transformations?

Back

Reflection is a rigid transformation that flips a figure over a line, creating a mirror image.

How does a 90-degree clockwise rotation affect a figure?

Back

A 90-degree clockwise rotation turns the figure 90 degrees to the right around the origin.

What happens to a figure when it is reflected across the x-axis?

Back

When a figure is reflected across the x-axis, the y-coordinates of its points change sign, while the x-coordinates remain the same.

What is the effect of reflecting a figure across the y-axis?

Back

Reflecting a figure across the y-axis changes the sign of the x-coordinates of its points, while the y-coordinates remain unchanged.

Describe the result of a 180-degree rotation about the origin.

Back

A 180-degree rotation about the origin turns the figure upside down, changing the signs of both the x and y coordinates.
