Back

To move a shape up, down, left, or right without changing its size or orientation.

Front

What is dilation in transformations?

Back

To make a shape bigger or smaller while keeping its proportions.

Front

What is a reflection in transformations?

Back

To flip a shape over a line, creating a mirror image.

Front

What is a rotation in transformations?

Back

To turn a shape around a fixed point.

Front

What is the fixed point called in a rotation?

Back

The center of rotation.

Front

What is the difference between translation and reflection?

Back

Translation moves a shape without changing its orientation, while reflection flips it over a line.

Front

What happens to the size of a shape during dilation?

Back

The size of the shape changes, but the shape's proportions remain the same.

Front

Can a shape undergo multiple transformations at once?

Back

Yes, a shape can be translated, rotated, and reflected in sequence.
