Chapter 7- Transformations Flashcards
A rule that assigns each point of a figure to another point in the plane
Transformation
The result of moving all points of a figure according to a transformation
Image
The original figure that undergoes a transformation
Pure image
A transformation that preserves size and shape
Rigid transformation
Rigid transformations are also called
Isometries
A transformation that does not preserve the original size and shape of the original figure
Nonrigid transformation
An isometry in which each point is slid along a straight path; it is moved by the same translation vector
Translation
A directed line segment from a point to its translated image
Vector
An isometry in which each point is moved by the same angle measure in the same direction along a circular path about a fixed point (known as the ______________ _________)
Rotation
Rotation angle
An isometry in which every point and it’s image are on opposite sides and the same distance from a fixed line (known as the _______ ___ ______________)
Reflection
Line of reflection
The line of reflection is the PERPENDICULAR BISECTOR of every segment joining a point in the original figure with its image
Reflection line conjecture
A figure coincides with itself under a reflection
Reflectional symmetry
A figure coincides with itself under some rotation
Rotational symmetry
Every image is identical to the original figure after a rotation of any multiple of _____
360 degrees
The property that a figure coincides with itself after a rotation of 180 degrees
Point symmetry
