What is a geometric transformation?

Back

A geometric transformation is a function that moves or changes a shape in a specific way, such as translation, rotation, reflection, or dilation.

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

A translation is a type of transformation that slides a shape from one position to another without rotating or flipping it.

What does a dilation with a scale factor of 0.5 do to a shape?

Back

A dilation with a scale factor of 0.5 reduces the size of the shape to half its original dimensions.

How do you represent a translation of 8 units down and 2 units to the right algebraically?

Back

The translation can be represented as (x,y) --> (x + 2, y - 8).

What is a reflection in geometry?

Back

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

What is the effect of a dilation with a scale factor greater than 1?

Back

A dilation with a scale factor greater than 1 enlarges the shape, making it larger than its original size.

What is the difference between a rotation and a reflection?

Back

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