What is a transformation in the coordinate plane?

Back

A transformation in the coordinate plane is a function that maps points from one location to another, altering their position, size, or orientation.

Define translation in the context of transformations.

Back

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

What happens to the coordinates of a point during a translation of (x, y) → (x + a, y + b)?

Back

The x-coordinate is increased by 'a' and the y-coordinate is increased by 'b'.

What is reflection in the coordinate plane?

Back

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

How does reflecting a point across the y-axis affect its coordinates?

Back

Reflecting a point (x, y) across the y-axis results in the point (-x, y).

What is the effect of reflecting a point across the x-axis?

Back

Reflecting a point (x, y) across the x-axis results in the point (x, -y).

Define rotation in the context of transformations.

Back

Rotation is a transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point, known as the center of rotation, by a specified angle.

What is the result of a 90° counterclockwise rotation of the point (x, y)?

Back

The result is the point (-y, x).

What is dilation in transformations?

Back

Dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure but not its shape, by a scale factor.
