Term | Definition |
Undefined terms | The "slope" of a vertical line |
Point | The geometric figure formed at the intersection of two distinct lines. |
Line | It is represented by a line with two arrowheads,
but it extends without end.
Through any two points, there is exactly one
line. You can use any two points on a line
to name it. |
Plane | A flat surface extending in all directions |
Collinear points | Points lying on the same line. |
Coplanar points | A set of points, lines, line segments, rays or any other geometrical shapes that lie on the same plane are said to be Coplanar. |
Theorem | A rule that can be proven |
Line segment | All points between two given points (including the given points themselves). |
Endpoints | It's one of the ways you find the midpoint |
Ray | A part of a line starting at a particular point and extending infinitely in one direction |
Opposite rays | 2 lines going in 2 different ways |
Intersection | When 2 lines touch |
Axiom | A rule that is accepted without proof |
Coordinate | The real number that corresponds to a point |
Formula | An expression used to calculate a desired result |
Between | When three points are collinear, you can say that one point is
between the other two |
Congruent segments | Line segments that have the same length |
Midpoint | The point that divides a segment into two congruent
segments |
Segment bisector | A point, ray, line, line segment or plane that
intersects the segment at its midpoint |
Distance | The absolute value of the difference between points A
and B |
Slope | The slope of a nonvertical line is the ratio of
vertical change (rise) to horizontal change (run)
between any two points on the line. |
Slope intercept form. What does m and b represent. | Linear equations may be written in different forms. The general form of a
linear equation in slope-intercept form is y 5 mx 1 b, where m is the slope
and b is the y-intercept. |
Point slope form. Which us the point and which is the slope | |
Standard form. What are the two rules for standard form | Another form of a linear equation is standard form. In
standard form, the equation is written as Ax 1 By 5 C, where A and B
are not both zero. |
Image | transformation moves or changes a figure
in some way to produce a new figure called an image |
Preimage | Another name for the
original figure is the preimage. |
Isometry | An isometry is a transformation that preserves length and angle
measure. Isometry is another word for congruence transformation |
Vector | A vector is a quantity that has both direction andmagnitude, or size. A vector is represented in the coordinate plane by an arrow drawn from one point to
another. |
Initial point | The initial point, or
starting point |
Terminal point | terminal point,
or ending point |
Component form | The component form of a vector combines the horizontal and vertical
components. |
Translation | translation moves every
point of a figure the same distance in the same direction. |
Matrix | matrix is a rectangular arrangement of numbers in rows and columns |
Element | Each number in a matrix is called an element |
Line of reflection | a reflection is a transformation that uses a
line like a mirror to reflect an image. The mirror line is called the line of
reflection. |
Reflection | A reflection uses
a line of reflection to create a mirror image of the original figure |
Center of rotation | rotation is a transformation in which a figure is
turned about a fixed point called the center of rotation |
Angle of rotation | Rays drawn from the
center of rotation to a point and its image form the angle of rotation. |
Rotation | A rotation
turns a figure about a fixed point, called the center of rotation. |
Line symmetry | A figure in the plane has line symmetry if the figure
can be mapped onto itself by a reflection in a line. |
Line of symmetry | This line of reflection is a line of symmetry, such as
line m at the right. A figure can have more than one
line of symmetry. |
Rotational symmetry | figure in a plane has rotational symmetry if the
figure can be mapped onto itself by a rotation of 1808 or less about the center
of the figure. |
Center of symmetry | This point is the center of symmetry. Note that the rotation can
be either clockwise or counterclockwise. |
Glide reflection | A glide reflection is a transformation
in which every point P is mapped to a point P0 |
Compositions of transformations | When two or more transformations are combined to form a
single transformation, the result is a composition of transformations. |
Scalar multiplication | Scalar multiplication is the process of multiplying each element
of a matrix by a real number or scalar. |
Dilation | dilation is a transformation that stretches or
shrinks a figure to create a similar figure. A dilation
is a type of similarity transformation. |
Reduction | If 0 < k < 1, the dilation is a reduction |
Engagement | If k > 1, the dilation is an enlargement. |
