Intro to Transformations

Front

What is a transformation in geometry?

Back

A transformation is an operation that moves or changes a shape to create a new shape.

Front

Name the three main types of transformations.

Back

Translation, Reflection, Rotation.

Front

What is a translation?

Back

A translation moves a shape from one location to another without changing its size, shape, or orientation.

Front

What is a reflection?

Back

A reflection flips a shape over a line, creating a mirror image.

Front

What is a rotation?

Back

A rotation turns a shape around a fixed point at a certain angle.

Front

What is dilation in geometry?

Back

Dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a shape but keeps its proportions the same.

Front

What is the original figure before a transformation called?

Back

Pre-Image.

Front

What is the figure after a transformation called?

Back

Image.

Front

How does a translation affect the coordinates of a point?

Back

A translation adds a specific value to the x and y coordinates of the point.

Front

What is the line of reflection?

Back

The line of reflection is the line over which a shape is flipped to create a mirror image.
