Sequence of Transformations

Front

What is a transformation in geometry?

Back

A transformation is an operation that moves or changes a shape in some way to create a new shape.

Front

Define translation in the context of transformations.

Back

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

Front

What is reflection in geometry?

Back

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

Front

Explain rotation in terms of geometric transformations.

Back

Rotation is a transformation that turns a shape around a fixed point, called the center of rotation, by a certain angle.

Front

What does it mean to perform a sequence of transformations?

Back

A sequence of transformations is a series of two or more transformations applied one after the other to a shape.

Front

Identify the transformation: A shape is flipped over the x-axis.

Back

Reflection across the x-axis.

Front

Identify the transformation: A shape is moved 5 units to the right and 3 units up.

Back

Translation.

Front

What is the result of reflecting a shape over both axes?

Back

The shape will be rotated 180 degrees around the origin.

Front

Describe the transformation: A shape is rotated 90 degrees clockwise.

Back

The shape is turned around a point (usually the origin) by 90 degrees in a clockwise direction.

Front

What is the effect of a translation followed by a reflection?

Back

The shape is first moved to a new position and then flipped over a specified line.
