Rigid Motion Transformations Practice

Front

What is a Reflection in Rigid Motion Transformations?

Back

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

Front

What is a Rotation in Rigid Motion Transformations?

Back

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

Front

What is a Translation in Rigid Motion Transformations?

Back

A Translation is a transformation that slides a figure from one position to another without changing its shape or orientation.

Front

What are the three types of Rigid Motion Transformations?

Back

The three types are Reflection, Rotation, and Translation.

Front

If Point A is at (2,3) and is translated 3 units left and 2 units up, what are the new coordinates?

Back

The new coordinates are (-1, 5).

Front

What does it mean to translate a point in the coordinate plane?

Back

To translate a point means to move it a certain distance in a specified direction without changing its orientation.

Front

What is the line of reflection?

Back

The line of reflection is the line over which a figure is reflected to create a mirror image.

Front

How do you determine the center of rotation?

Back

The center of rotation is the fixed point around which a figure rotates.

Front

What is the effect of a 90-degree clockwise rotation on the coordinates of a point (x,y)?

Back

The new coordinates will be (y, -x).

Front

What is the effect of a 180-degree rotation on the coordinates of a point (x,y)?

Back

The new coordinates will be (-x, -y).
