Front

A slide is also called a _________.

Back

Translation

Front

Name the transformation: A shape is flipped over a line.

Back

Reflection

Front

Identify the transformation from C to D: 90° Clockwise Rotation, 180° Rotation, 270° Clockwise Rotation, 360° Rotation.

Back

270° Clockwise Rotation

Front

Identify the transformation: A shape moves 5 units left and 1 unit up.

Back

Translation 5 units left, 1 unit up.

Front

What is the definition of a transformation in geometry?

Back

A transformation is an operation that moves or changes a shape in some way to produce a new shape.

Front

What are the three main types of transformations?

Back

Translation, Rotation, Reflection.

Front

What does it mean to reflect a shape across the y-axis?

Back

To reflect a shape across the y-axis means to flip it over the y-axis, creating a mirror image.

Front

How does a 90° clockwise rotation affect the coordinates of a point (x, y)?

Back

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

Front

What is the effect of a translation on a shape?

Back

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