        Help!  

Term
Definition
translation   a slide described by length and direction  
🗑
reflection   a flip transformation of an object in a mirror line or reflection line  
🗑
rotation   a transformation in which a figure is turned or rotated about a point  
🗑
centre of rotation   the point around which an object can be rotated  
🗑
dilation   a transformation that changes the size of an object  
🗑
line of symmetry a   mirror line that reflects an object onto itself  
🗑
rotational symmetry   a figure that maps onto itself more than once in a complete turn  
🗑
point symmetry   rotational symmetry of order 2  
🗑
tesselation   an arrangement of shapes that completely covers the plane without overlapping  
🗑
A rigid transformation (also called an isometry)   is a transformation of the plane that preserves length. Reflections, translations, rotations, and combinations of these three transformations are "rigid transformations".  
🗑
A reflection (flip)   is called a rigid transformation or isometry because the image is the same size and shape as the pre-image.  
🗑
A translation (slide)   is called a rigid transformation or isometry because the image is the same size and shape as the pre-image  
🗑
Rotation ( flip)   the point about which the object is rotated can be inside the figure or anywhere outside it.  
🗑
Translation   (x+h, y+k)  
🗑
Reflection across the X- Axis   (x,-y)  
🗑
Reflection across the Y- Axis   (-x,y)  
🗑
Reflection across the Y- Axis   (-x,y)  
🗑
Reflection across y=-x   (-y,-x)  
🗑
90 degrees counterclockwise or 270 clockwise   (-y,x)  
🗑
180 degrees both ways   (-x,-y)  
🗑
270 degrees counterclockwise or 90 clockwise   (y,-x)  
🗑
4 Types of Transformations   - Rotation - Reflection - Translation - Dilation  
🗑
Translation   A shift of a graph horizontally, vertically, or both, which results in a graph of the same shape and size, but in a different position.  
🗑
Rotation   Turning around an axis or center point.  
🗑
Reflection   A transformation that "flips" a figure over a mirror or reflection line.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
