When reflecting a shape over the Y-axis, what happens to the X-coordinates of the vertices?

• They double

• They change sign

• They become negative

• They remain the same

If a point is at (-3, 1) and is reflected over the Y-axis, where will it be located?

• (-3, 1)

• (3, -1)

• (-3, -1)

• (3, 1)

What is the first step in reflecting a triangle over the Y-axis?

• Draw the line of reflection

• Count the jumps from the line of reflection

• Label the vertices

• Rotate the triangle

What happens to the Y-coordinates of a shape's vertices when it is reflected over the X-axis?

• They remain the same

• They double

• They change sign

• They become negative

What does rotating a shape around a center point involve?

• Scaling the shape

• Sliding the shape

• Turning the shape

• Flipping the shape

During a rotation, what path do the vertices of the shape follow?

• A circle

• A square

• A straight line

What is the term used to describe sliding a shape in math?

• Rotation

• Translation

• Dilation

Which directions can a shape be translated?

• Up and down only

• Left and right only

• Diagonally only

• Up, down, left, right, and diagonally

What is the main idea behind the concept of translation in math?

• Turning a shape

• Scaling a shape
