Rotations with a touch of rotations

Front

What is a rotation in geometry?

Back

A rotation is a transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point called the center of rotation.

Front

What happens to the coordinates of a point when it is reflected across the x-axis?

Back

The y-coordinate of the point changes sign, while the x-coordinate remains the same.

Front

Define reflection in geometry.

Back

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

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

If point A is at (2, 3), what is the reflection of A over the x-axis?

Back

(2, -3)
