What is a reflection in geometry?

Back

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

What does it mean to reflect a point across the x-axis?

Back

To reflect a point (x, y) across the x-axis, the y-coordinate changes sign, resulting in the point (x, -y).

What does it mean to reflect a point across the y-axis?

Back

To reflect a point (x, y) across the y-axis, the x-coordinate changes sign, resulting in the point (-x, y).

What is a rigid motion?

Back

A rigid motion is a transformation that preserves distance and shape, including reflections, rotations, and translations.

Which transformation is NOT a rigid motion?

Back

Dilation is NOT a rigid motion because it changes the size of the figure.
