Back

Translation is a transformation that moves every point of a shape the same distance in a given direction.

Front

What is a rotation?

Back

A rotation is a transformation that turns a shape around a fixed point, called the center of rotation, by a certain angle.

Explain reflection in geometry.

Back

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

What is the rule for translating a point (x, y) 3 units up and 2 units right?

Back

(x, y) → (x + 2, y + 3)
