| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Transformation | A change in shape, position, or size of a figure (mapping of points) |
| Transformation (other) | In a plane, the mapping of points is a transformation if each image point has one preimage point, and if each preimage point has one image point |
| Translation | Is a transformation in which all the points of a figure move the same distance in the same direction. |
| Translation (other) | A composite of two reflections over two parallel lines |
| Reflection | A transformation across a line called the Line of Reflection. Each point and its image are the same distance from the line. |
| Reflection (other) | A transformation across a line called the line of reflection that maps each point P (preimage) of the plane onto point P' (image) so that the line of reflection is the perpendicular bisector of the segment between P and P' |
| Rotation | A transformation about point P, called the Center of Rotation. Each point and its image are the same distance from P. |
| Rotation (other) | A composite of two reflections over two intersecting lines |
| Center of Rotation | The fixed point where the two lines of reflection intersect |
| Angle of Rotation | The measure of the angle of rotation is twice the measure of the angle formed by the intersecting lines |
| Isometry | A transformation that preserves the length, angle measure, and area of a figure |
| Image | The figure after transformation |
| Preimage | The original image |
| Dilation | Let C be a point and k a positive real number. A dilation is a transformation that maps each point of a plane to an image so that: |
| Symmetry | There is a transformation such that the image coincides eith the preimage; x=y, y=x |
| Line Symmetry | A figure has line symmetry if there is a line of reflection such that the reflected image of the figure coincides with itself |
| Rotational Symmetry | A figure has rotational symmetry if there is a rotation (less then 360) around a center point such that the image coincides with the figure |
| Angle of Rotational Symmetry | The smallest angle a figure can be rotated for the figure to coincide with itself |
| Order | The number of times a figure coincides with itself as it rotates 360 degrees |
| Point Symmetry | A figure has point symmetry if it has rotational symmetry of 180 degrees |
