8th Grade GA Milestones Review

A type of transformation where a figure is “flipped” over a line of symmetry. A reflection produces a mirror image of a figure.

• rotation
• translation
• dilation
• reflection

A transformation that “turns” a figure about a fixed point at a given angle and a given direction.

• rotation
• translation
• reflection
• dilation

a transformation that changes the size of a figure, but not the shape

• translation
• rotation
• reflection
• dilation

Triangle ABC has vertices A(5,2).  Find the coordinates of ABC after a reflection over the x-axis.

• A’(5, -2)
• A’(-5, -2)
• A’(-5, -2)

Identify the transformation from ABCD to A'B'C'D'.

• Translation
• Reflection across the x-axis
• Reflection across the y-axis
• 90^o counter clockwise rotation

Identify the transformation from ABC to A'B'C'.

• 90^o clockwise rotation
• 90^o counter clockwise rotation
• Reflection across the y-axis
• Reflection across the x-axis

Identify the transformation from A to D.

• 90^o Clockwise Rotation
• 180^o Rotation
• 270^o Clockwise Rotation
• 360^o Rotation

Identify the transformation from A to D.

• 90^o Clockwise Rotation
• 180^o Rotation
• 270^o  clockwise Rotation
• 360^o Rotation

Write a rule for the translation.

•  (x -1, y  + 2)
•  (x -2, y  + 1)
•  (x +2, y  - 1)
• (x +1, y  -  2)

Triangle C is rotated 180° counterclockwise with the origin as the center of rotation to create a new figure. Which rule describes this transformation?

• (x,y)→(y, -x) 
• (x,y)→(-x,-y)
• (x,y)→(x,y)
• (x,y)→(-y,x)
