What is the sequence of transformations?

• Reflect over the y then reflect over the x
• Reflect over the x then reflect over the y
• Translate 4 units then rotate 90˚
• Rotate 90˚ then reflect over the x

Reflections over the x-axis change the sign of the ____-__________. 

• y-coordinate
• x-coordinate
• y-axis
• x-axis

CCSS.HSG.CO.A.5

A type of transformation where a figure is “flipped” over a line of symmetry, producing a mirror image of the figure.

• rotation

• translation

• dilation

• reflection

How is trapezoid ABCD translated to trapezoid A'B'C'D'?

• (y-8, x+5)
• (x+8, y-5)
• (x+5, y-8)
• (x+4, y-5)

Which of the following describes the sequence of transformations shown?

• Reflect across the x-axis and then rotate -90 degrees around the origin

• Rotate -90 degrees around the origin and then translate down.

• Reflect across the x-axis and then reflect across the y-axis.

• Translate up and then rotate 90 degrees about the origin.

Translations, rotations, and reflections are three different types of transformations. Give two other names for rigid transformations.
