Reflection of a Figure

A type of transformation where a figure is “flipped” over a line of symmetry. A reflection produces a mirror image of a figure.

Identify the transformation from ABC to A'B'C'.

• (x+8, y+4)

• (x-8, y-4)

• (x+4, y+8)

• (x-4, y-8)

Is this rotation or reflection symmetry?

• Rotation

• Translation

What is the sequence of transformations for the image given? (Remember: The new Image has the prime symbols.)

• Reflect over the x-axis, translate (x+8,y)

• Reflect over the x-axis then translate (x+6, y)

• Reflect over the y-axis then (x+1, y+1)

• Translate down 4 (y-4) and to the right 5 (x+5)

What sequence of transformations could map ∆ABC onto its image ∆A''B''C''? (Remember: You're transforming from purple, to green, to red.)

• a reflection followed by a rotation

• a reflection followed by a translation

• a translation followed by a rotation

• a translation followed by a reflection
