Coordinate rules (Translation, Reflection, Rotation)

Front

What is a translation in coordinate geometry?

Back

A translation is a transformation that moves every point of a figure or a space by the same distance in a given direction.

Front

How do you reflect a point over the x-axis?

Back

To reflect a point (x, y) over the x-axis, the new point will be (x, -y).

Front

What is the result of reflecting the point (3, 5) over the y-axis?

Back

The result is (-3, 5).

Front

Back

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

Front

How do you perform a translation of a point (x, y) three units to the left and two units down?

Back

The new coordinates will be (x - 3, y - 2).

Front

What is the effect of reflecting a point over the y-axis?

Back

To reflect a point (x, y) over the y-axis, the new point will be (-x, y).

Front

If point R' (−2, 8) is the image of point R (−2, 2), what transformation occurred?

Back

A translation of 6 units up.

Front

What is the result of reflecting the point (2, -4) over the y-axis?

Back

The result is (-2, -4).

Front

What is the definition of a reflection in geometry?

Back

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