| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Transformation | Some kind of change in position, shape, or size of a geometric figure. |
| Preimage | The original figure before a transformation occurs. (The before picture) |
| Image | The new figure produced after the transformation occurs. |
| Rigid | Motion that preserves length and angle measures. This makes the preimage and image congruent figures. |
| Nonrigid | Motions that do not produce congruent figures. |
| Isometry | Another way to say equality of measure. (Preserves length and angle measures.) |
| Reflection | Transformation that reflects each point in the preimage across a line of reflection. |
| Rx-axis(ABCD) | This is a notion of how to change the figure ABCD. It means reflect (ABCD) over the x-axis. It is an algebraic notation. A common rule for relecting over X axis is to... (X, Y) -> (X,-Y) |
| Ry-axis(ABCD) | This is a notion of how to change the figure ABCD. It means reflect (ABCD) over the y-axis.It is an algebraic notation. A common rule for relecting over Y axis is to... (X, Y) -> (-X,Y) |
| Translation | A transformation that maps all points of a preimage the same distance and direction. Translations preserve lengths and angles, so they are Rigid motions. |
| Composition | A transformation with two or more rigid motions in which the second motion is performed on the image first. |
| Name the result of what happens to x and Y after this rotation. r(90°, O) (x, y) | (-y, x) |
| Name the result of what happens to x and Y after this rotation. r(180°, O) (x, y) | (-x, -y) |
| Name the result of what happens to x and Y after this rotation. r(270°, O) (x, y) | (y, -x) |
| Do Translations or Reflections come first? | It is the reflection, then the translation. |
| Reflectional Symmetry | Symmetry for which a reflection maps the figure onto itself. The line of reflection for reflection symmetry is called the line of symmetry. |
| Rotational Symmetry | An image mapped onto the preimage after a rotation less than 360 degrees. |
