|---|---|
| A Transformation that uses a line like a mirror to reflect a figure. | Reflection |
| A line that acts like a mirror | line of reflection |
| a transformation involving a translation followed by a reflection. | Glide reflection |
| A figure in the plane has line symmetry when the figure can be mapped onto itself by a reflection in a line. | line symmetry |
| A line of reflection that maps a figure onto itself. | Line of Symmetry |
| A transformation in which a figure is turned about a fixed point. | Rotation |
| The fixed point in a rotation. | Center of Rotation |
| The angle that is formed by rays drawn from the center of Rotation to a point and its image. | angle of rotation |
| A figure has rotational symmetry when the figure can be mapped onto itself by a rotation of 180 degrees or less about the center. | rotational symmetry |
| The center of rotation in a figure that has rotational symmetry. | Center of symmetry |
| A quantity that has both direction and magnitude and is represented in the coordinate plane by and arrow drawn from one point to another. | Vector |
| The starting point of a vector. | Initial point |
| Then ending point of a vector. | Terminal point |
| The Horizontal change from the starting point of a vector to the ending point. | Horizontal component |
| The vertical change from the starting point of a vector to the ending point. | Vertical Component |
| A form of a vector that combines the horizontal and vertical components. | Component form |
| A function that moves or changes a figure in some way to produce a new figure. | Transformation |
| A figure that results from the transformation of a geometric figure. | Image |
| The original figure before a transformation. | Pre-image |
| A transformation that moves every point of a figure the same distance and the same direction. | Translation |
| A transformation that preserves length and angle measure. | Rigid Motion |
| The combination of two or more transformations to form a single transformation. | Composition of transformations |
