Reflections and Translations

Front

What is a reflection in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What are the coordinates of point X' if point X(-11, 8) is reflected across the x-axis?

Back

(-11, -8)

Front

What is the rule for reflecting a point (x, y) over the x-axis?

Back

(x, -y)

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

A translation is a transformation that moves a figure from one location to another without changing its shape or orientation.

Front

If triangle X is translated 6 units to the right, what is the rule for the x-coordinates?

Back

x + 6

Front

What happens to the y-coordinates during a reflection over the x-axis?

Back

The y-coordinates change sign.

Front

Which triangle is a translation of triangle X?

Back

Triangle B (as per the provided question context).

Front

What is the image of point B(-2, 4) reflected over the x-axis?

Back

(-2, -4)

Front

What is the rule for reflecting a point (x, y) over the y-axis?

Back

(-x, y)

Front

If a point is reflected over the y-axis, what happens to its x-coordinate?

Back

The x-coordinate changes sign.
