Exit Ticket Sequence of Transformations

Front

What is a transformation in geometry?

Back

A transformation is an operation that moves or changes a shape in some way to produce a new shape.

Front

Define translation in geometry.

Back

Translation is a transformation that moves every point of a shape the same distance in a specified direction.

Front

What is a reflection in geometry?

Back

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

Front

Explain rotation in geometry.

Back

Rotation is a transformation that turns a shape around a fixed point, called the center of rotation, by a certain angle.

Front

What does it mean to reflect over the x-axis?

Back

Reflecting over the x-axis means flipping a shape over the x-axis, changing the sign of the y-coordinates of its points.

Front

What does it mean to reflect over the y-axis?

Back

Reflecting over the y-axis means flipping a shape over the y-axis, changing the sign of the x-coordinates of its points.

Front

What is a 90 degrees counterclockwise rotation?

Back

A 90 degrees counterclockwise rotation turns a shape 90 degrees in the opposite direction of the clock's hands around a point.

Front

What is a sequence of transformations?

Back

A sequence of transformations is a series of two or more transformations applied to a shape in a specific order.

Front

How can you describe the transformation from a triangle to its image after a translation?

Back

The triangle is moved a certain distance in a specific direction without changing its shape or orientation.

Front

What is the result of a reflection followed by a translation?

Back

The shape is first flipped over a line and then moved to a new position without altering its size or shape.
