Composite Transformations

Front

What is a composite transformation?

Back

A composite transformation is a combination of two or more transformations applied to a figure in a specific order.

Front

What is translation in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean to rotate a figure?

Back

To rotate a figure means to turn it around a fixed point, called the center of rotation, by a certain angle.

Front

What is reflection in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What is the center of rotation?

Back

The center of rotation is the fixed point around which a figure is rotated.

Front

How do you perform a 180° rotation?

Back

To perform a 180° rotation, each point of the figure is turned halfway around the center of rotation, resulting in a figure that is upside down.

Front

What is the effect of a 90° clockwise rotation?

Back

A 90° clockwise rotation turns a figure to the right, moving points in a circular path around the center of rotation.

Front

What is the effect of a 270° clockwise rotation?

Back

A 270° clockwise rotation is equivalent to a 90° counterclockwise rotation, turning the figure to the left.

Front

What is the difference between a rotation and a reflection?

Back

A rotation turns a figure around a point, while a reflection flips it over a line.

Front

What is the transformation sequence for moving a point (2, 6) up 3 and left 1?

Back

The new coordinates after the transformations are (1, 9).
