Transformations Quiz

What is a translation in the coordinate plane?

• A translation in the coordinate plane is a transformation that moves every point in a figure a different distance in the same direction.

• A translation in the coordinate plane is a transformation that moves every point in a figure the same distance in the same direction.

• A translation in the coordinate plane is a transformation that moves only some points in a figure the same distance in the same direction.

• A translation in the coordinate plane is a transformation that moves every point in a figure the same distance in a different direction.

Which transformation involves rotating an object around a fixed point?

• rotation

• reflection

• translation

• dilation

What is a reflection across a line?

• Transformation that rotates a figure around a line of reflection.

• Transformation that moves a figure parallel to a line of reflection.

• Transformation that flips a figure over a line of reflection.

• Transformation that stretches a figure along a line of reflection.

What is a dilation with a scale factor?

• A dilation with a scale factor is a transformation that changes the shape of a figure without changing its size.

• A dilation with a scale factor is a transformation that reflects a figure without changing its size.

• A dilation with a scale factor is a transformation that rotates a figure without changing its size.

• A dilation with a scale factor is a transformation that changes the size of a figure without changing its shape.

Which transformation involves a combination of translation, rotation, and reflection?

• translation

• rotation

• reflection

• glide reflection

True or False: A translation changes the size of an object.

• True

• False

• Sometimes

• Only if the object is a square

True or False: A rotation can be clockwise or counterclockwise.

• True

• Counterclockwise only

• Clockwise only

• False

True or False: A reflection changes the orientation of an object.

• True

• Only in certain cases

• Sometimes

• False

True or False: A dilation preserves the shape of an object.

• False

• Sometimes

• True

• Depends on the object

True or False: The composition of transformations is always commutative.

• False

• True

• Sometimes

• Depends on the transformations
