Transformations Flashcards
**
What is a rigid motion?
A transformation that preserves the size & shape of the figure
What is a preimage?
The figure before the transformation
(Remember! Previews are before the movies)
What is an image?
The figure after the tranformation
What do we include in our labels to indicate that a transformation (or two) happened?
Primes (or double primes for two transformations)
What type of movement is a translation?
slide
What type of movement is a rotation?
spin (or turn)
What type of movement is a reflection?
flip (or mirror)
What type of movement is a dilation?
Shrink / grow
What info must you include when describing a translation?
Distance (# of units ) & direction (up, left, right, down)
What info must you include when describing a rotation?
Center point, size of angle, direction (clockwise/counterclockwise)
What info must you include when describing a reflection?
Line of reflection (equation or axis)
Hmm…reflection is the only transformation that we DON’T have to specif
What info must you include when describing a dilation?
Center point, scale factor
Which transformation(s) produce figures congruent to the preimage?
Translations, reflections, rotations (all the rigid motions!)
When does a dilation produce a congruent figure?
When the scale factor is 1
Which transformation(s) reverse the orientation of a figure?
Reflection
