Identify Transformations

The video tutorial explains transformations in mathematics, using real-life examples like airplanes and Ferris wheels. It covers translations, reflections, and rotations on a coordinate plane, detailing how these transformations affect figures' positions and orientations. The tutorial provides methods to identify and verify transformations, using examples of a line segment and an angle. It emphasizes the importance of visualizing movement patterns and verifying transformations by comparing original and transformed figures.

Which of the following transformations involves moving a figure without changing its shape or size?

• Scaling

• Translation

• Shearing

• Dilation

What is the first step in verifying a transformation on a coordinate plane?

• Checking the size of the figure

• Counting the number of vertices

• Transforming points from the original figure

• Measuring the angles of the figure

If a line segment is shifted vertically on a coordinate plane, which transformation has occurred?

• Reflection

• Rotation

• Dilation

• Translation

How can you verify that a reflection has occurred across a specific line?

• By checking if the figure is larger

• By ensuring the reflected points lie on the transformed figure

• By rotating the figure 90 degrees

• By translating the figure horizontally

What happens to the orientation of a figure when it is reflected across a line?

• It remains unchanged

• It scales up

• It rotates 180 degrees

• It becomes a mirror image
