Sequencing Translations and Reflections

Front

What is a reflection in geometry?

Back

A reflection is a transformation that flips a figure over a line, creating a mirror image.

Front

What does it mean to translate a figure?

Back

To translate a figure means to slide it in a straight line from one position to another without changing its shape or orientation.

Front

What is the result of reflecting a point over the x-axis?

Back

The y-coordinate of the point changes sign, while the x-coordinate remains the same.

Front

What is the result of reflecting a point over the y-axis?

Back

The x-coordinate of the point changes sign, while the y-coordinate remains the same.

Front

What is a sequence of transformations?

Back

A sequence of transformations is a series of operations applied to a figure, such as translations, reflections, or rotations.

Front

How do you describe a translation?

Back

A translation is described by the direction and distance the figure moves.

Front

What is the difference between a translation and a reflection?

Back

A translation slides a figure without changing its orientation, while a reflection flips it over a line.
