Transformations in Geometry Math

Front

Vertex

Back

A point where two or more curves, edges, or lines meet in a geometric shape.

Front

Coordinates

Back

A set of values that show an exact position. For example, (x, y) in a 2D space.

Front

Translation

Back

A function that moves every point a constant distance in a specified direction.

Front

Reflection

Back

A transformation representing a flip of a figure over a line, creating a mirror image.

Front

Rotation

Back

A circular movement of an object around a center or point of rotation.

Front

Quadrant

Back

One of the four sections of a coordinate plane, divided by the x-axis and y-axis.

Front

Ordered pairs

Back

A pair of numbers used to locate a point on a plane, typically written in the form (x, y).

Front

Origin

Back

The point (0, 0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect on a coordinate plane.

Front

Axis

Back

A reference line used in a coordinate system, such as the x-axis (horizontal) or y-axis (vertical).

Front

Line Segment

Back

A part of a line that is bounded by two distinct endpoints and contains every point on the line between its endpoints.
