FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Define translation in geometry.

Back

Translation is a type of transformation that slides a shape from one position to another without turning it. It is defined by a vector that indicates the direction and distance of the slide.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Define dilation in geometry.

Back

Dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a shape but not its shape. It is defined by a center of dilation and a scale factor.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the scale factor in dilation?

Back

The scale factor is a number that describes how much a shape is enlarged or reduced during a dilation. A scale factor greater than 1 enlarges the shape, while a scale factor between 0 and 1 reduces it.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you perform a translation of a point (x, y) by (a, b)?

Back

To translate the point (x, y) by (a, b), you add a to the x-coordinate and b to the y-coordinate, resulting in the new point (x+a, y+b).
