Rotation is a transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point at a certain angle.

Front

What is translation in transformations?

Back

Translation is a transformation that slides a figure from one position to another without changing its shape or orientation.

Front

What is dilation in transformations?

Back

Dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure but keeps its shape the same.

Front

How do you represent a translation algebraically?

Back

A translation of a figure can be represented as (x, y) --> (x + a, y + b), where 'a' and 'b' are the units moved in the x and y directions.
