Translations and Reflections Practice

Front

What does a translation in geometry mean?

Back

Sliding an object from one place to another without changing its size or orientation.

Front

What is the result of translating a line segment 8 units left and 4 units up?

Back

The line segment moves 8 units left and 4 units up.

Front

If a figure is located entirely in the third quadrant and is reflected over the y-axis, in which quadrant will its image lie?

Back

4th quadrant.

Front

Reflect Point C (2, 3) over the y-axis. What are the new coordinates?

Back

(-2, 3).

Front

Reflect (6, -3) over the x-axis. What are the new coordinates of that point after the reflection?

Back

(6, 3).

Front

What is the definition of reflection in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What happens to the coordinates of a point (x, y) when it is reflected over the x-axis?

Back

The new coordinates are (x, -y).

Front

What happens to the coordinates of a point (x, y) when it is reflected over the y-axis?

Back

The new coordinates are (-x, y).

Front

What is the effect of translating a shape 5 units right and 3 units down?

Back

The shape moves 5 units right and 3 units down without changing its size or orientation.

Front

If a triangle is translated 4 units left and 2 units up, what happens to its vertices?

Back

Each vertex of the triangle moves 4 units left and 2 units up.
