IM1 Transformations

Front

What is a transformation in geometry?

Back

A transformation is a change in the position, size, or shape of a figure using operations such as translation, rotation, reflection, or dilation.

Front

What is the result of a dilation with a scale factor greater than 1?

Back

Back

Reduction

Front

In which quadrant is a point located if its coordinates are (-3, -2)?

Back

III

Front

What is the scale factor in a dilation?

Back

The scale factor is a number that describes how much a figure is enlarged or reduced during a dilation.

Front

What is the difference between reflection and rotation?

Back

Reflection flips a shape over a line, while rotation turns a shape around a point.

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

A translation moves a shape from one location to another without changing its size, shape, or orientation.
