| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Line of Symmetry | A line that divides a figure into mirror images |
| Image | The result of a transformation of a point, line, or figure |
| Transformation | A change in the position, shape, or size of a figure |
| Angle of Rotation | The number of degrees that a figure rotates |
| Reflection | A transformation that flips a figure over a line |
| Reflectional Symmetry | When a figure is reflected over a line, its image matches the original figure |
| Scale Factor | The ratio of a length in the images to the corresponding length in the original figure |
| Line of Reflection | A line across which a figure is reflected |
| Center of Rotation | A fixed point about which a figure is rotated |
| Reduction | A dilation with a scale factor less than 1 |
| Enlargement | A dilation with a scale factor greater than 1 |
| Translation | A transformation that moves each point of a figure the same distance and in the same direction |
| Dilation | A transformation in which a figure and its image is similar |
| Rotational Symmetry | It can be rotated 180 degrees or less and match the original figure |
| Rotation | Transformation that turns a figure about a fixed point |
