Exploring Translations, Rotations, and Reflections

What is the initial figure called before any transformation is applied?

• Pre-image

• Post-image

• Sub-image

• Base-image

What type of transformation is described as a 'slide'?

• Reflection

• Rotation

• Scaling

• Translation

What does a translation do to a figure on a graph?

• Rotates it around a point

• Flips it over a line

• Expands or contracts it

• Slides it in a straight line

When a figure is reflected over the y-axis, what happens to the image?

• It is flipped to the opposite side

• It remains unchanged

• It slides to the opposite side

• It rotates 180 degrees

If a figure is flipped over the x-axis, what type of transformation is it?

• Shearing

• Translation

• Reflection

• Rotation

Which axis is commonly used for reflecting an image in geometry?

• v-axis

• z-axis

• y-axis

• x-axis

What is the result of a 180-degree rotation around the origin?

• The figure is flipped upside down

• The figure is unchanged

• The figure returns to its original position

• The figure moves to a new position on the graph

Which transformation involves turning a figure around a fixed point?

• Dilation

• Rotation

• Reflection

• Translation

What does a 90-degree rotation typically look like?

• No change

• A quarter turn

• A slide to the right

• A flip over the y-axis

How can you determine the type of transformation applied to a figure?

• By the direction it moves

• By measuring the angles

• By the change in size

• By the position and orientation change
