Transformations Flashcards
Transformations move and modify what?
geometric shapes
A transformation creates a _____.
new figure.
The original figure before a transformation is called a __________.
pre-image
The figure after a transformation is called __________.
An Image
The symbol for an image is called a
prime - ‘
What are the two (2) types of transformations?
rigid and non-rigid
Another word for a rigid transformation is ________.
a congruence transformation
What are three (4) types of rigid transformations?
reflection, rotation, translation, and dialation
A reflection transformation turns a figure into what?
1) a mirror image 2) flipping over a line
A rotation transformation turns a figure around what?
1) a fixed point 2) to create an image
A translation transformation moves ______________, ___________, ___________.
1) every point in a figure 2) the same distance 3) the same direction
The arrow –> is used to describe a _____________.
translation
Another way to describe a reflection transformation is a ____________.
a flip
If (x,y) is reflected over the x-axis of a horizontal line, then ___________________.
the image is (x, -y).
If (x,y) is reflected over the y = b of a horizontal line ( X-axis) then ___________________.
the image is (x, 2b - y)
A reflection (x,y) over a vertical line causes the ________ coordinates to change while the ____________ remain constant.
X Y
If (x,y) is reflected over the y = b of a vertical line (Y-axis) then ___________________.
Like a reflection in the origin, a rotation transformation is a figure spun around the ________________________.
Center of Rotation
Dilation is a transformation, that stretches or shrinks the original figure presented on the grid based on ______________.
the scale factor
A scale factor less than one indicates _______________ while a scale factor greater than one represents _________________.
reduction/enlargement
Can Vectors be used to represent a translation?
Yes
If coordinates stay the same while y-coordinates change, then this is a reflection over _____________________.
Horizontal Lines
If (x, y) is reflected over the x-axis, then the image is ____________.
(x, -y)
If (x, y) is reflected over y = b, then the image is _____________.
(x, 2b - y)
