Rotation about the origin means…
Counterclockwise
Angle of rotation
The angle through which a preimage is rotated to form the image
Center of rotation
A fixed point around which shapes move in a circular motion to a new position
Composition of transformation
The resulting transformation when a transformation is applied to a figure and then another transformation is applied to its image
Glide reflection
The composition of a translation followed by a reflection in a line parallel to the translation vector.
Line of reflection
A line in which each point on the preimage and its corresponding point on the image are the same distance from this line
Line of symmetry
A line that can be drawn through a plane figure so that the figure on one side is the reflection image of the figure on the opposite side
Magnitude of symmetry
The smallest angle through swhich a figure can be rotated so that it maps into itself
Order of symmetry
The number of times a fugure can map into itself as it rotates from 0 degrees to 360 degrees
