Transformation Rules!

Front

What is Translation in geometry?

Back

Translation refers to the movement of a figure in a straight line from one position to another without changing its shape, size, or orientation. It is often described as 'slides.'

Front

What is the transformation rule for a 270° counter-clockwise rotation about the origin?

Back

The transformation rule is (x, y) → (-y, x).

Front

What is the transformation rule for reflecting a figure over the x-axis?

Back

The transformation rule is (x, y) → (x, -y).

Front

What does congruence mean in geometry?

Back

Congruence means that two figures have the same size and the same shape.

Front

How do you express a scale factor of 3 in algebraic notation?

Back

The algebraic notation is (x, y) → (3x, 3y).

Front

What is a Rotation in geometry?

Back

Rotation is a transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point, known as the center of rotation.

Front

What is a Reflection in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What is a Dilation in geometry?

Back

Dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure but keeps its shape, defined by a scale factor.

Front

What is the transformation rule for a 90° clockwise rotation about the origin?

Back

The transformation rule is (x, y) → (y, -x).

Front

What is the transformation rule for a 180° rotation about the origin?

Back

The transformation rule is (x, y) → (-x, -y).
