What is a congruence transformation?

Back

A congruence transformation is a geometric transformation that preserves the shape and size of a figure, meaning the original figure and its image are congruent.

What does the vector <3, -3> represent in a translation?

Back

The vector <3, -3> indicates that a figure is moved 3 units to the right and 3 units down.

What does a 180-degree rotation about the origin do to a point (x, y)?

Back

What does reflecting a figure in the line y = x do to the coordinates of a point (x, y)?

Back

Reflecting a point (x, y) in the line y = x transforms it to (y, x).
