Composite Transformations

Front

What is a composite transformation?

Back

A composite transformation is a combination of two or more transformations applied to a figure in a specific order.

Front

What is a reflection in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean to rotate a figure?

Back

To rotate a figure means to turn it around a fixed point, called the center of rotation, by a certain angle.

Front

What is the effect of a 90-degree clockwise rotation?

Back

A 90-degree clockwise rotation turns a figure to the right, changing its orientation.

Front

What is the effect of a 180-degree rotation?

Back

A 180-degree rotation turns a figure upside down, effectively reversing its position.

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

A translation is a transformation that moves every point of a figure the same distance in a specified direction.

Front

How do you perform a reflection over the x-axis?

Back

To reflect a point (x, y) over the x-axis, the new point becomes (x, -y).

Front

How do you perform a reflection over the y-axis?

Back

To reflect a point (x, y) over the y-axis, the new point becomes (-x, y).

Front

What is the result of translating the point (2, 3) up 4 units?

Back

The new point after translating (2, 3) up 4 units is (2, 7).

Front

What is the result of reflecting the point (3, 5) over the line y=x?

Back

The new point after reflecting (3, 5) over the line y=x is (5, 3).
