Translations, rotations, and reflections are three different types of what?

• Transformations

• Geometry

• Vectors

• Shapes

Answer explanation

They are all types of transformations because they transform a figure (position and orientation) on a coordinate plane.

After a figure has been transformed, we call the new figure the...

• Image

• Different shape

• Figure that moved

• Prime

Answer explanation

A figure is called an image after being transformed, because it is the current version (image) of the figure on a graph.
