Transformations Quiz

What is a transformation in mathematics?

• A transformation in mathematics is a method of solving equations using substitution.

• A transformation in mathematics is a function that maps points from one space to another.

• A transformation in mathematics is a process of converting a decimal number to a fraction.

• A transformation in mathematics is a term used to describe the process of rearranging an equation to isolate a variable.

What are the three basic types of transformations?

• translation, rotation, and scaling

• dilation, rotation, and translation.

• reflection, rotation, and scaling.

• reflection, rotation, and translation.

What is a translation?

• Conversion of text or speech from one language to another while adding new meaning and intent.

• Conversion of text or speech from one language to another while changing the meaning and intent.

• Conversion of text or speech from one language to another without preserving meaning and intent.

• Conversion of text or speech from one language to another while preserving meaning and intent.

What is a reflection?

• The absorption of light by a surface.

• The bending of light as it passes through a medium.

• The scattering of light by particles in the atmosphere.

• The change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media.

What is a rotation?

• Rotation is the process of shrinking or compressing something.

• Rotation is the action of rotating or turning something around a fixed point or axis.

• Rotation is the movement of something in a straight line.

• Rotation is the act of stretching or expanding something.

What is a dilation?

• A dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure without changing its shape.

• A dilation is a transformation that changes the size and shape of a figure.

• A dilation is a transformation that changes the position of a figure without changing its size.

• A dilation is a transformation that changes the shape of a figure without changing its size.

What is the difference between a rigid transformation and a non-rigid transformation?

• A rigid transformation preserves the shape and size of an object, while a non-rigid transformation changes the shape and size of an object.

• A rigid transformation only changes the size of an object, while a non-rigid transformation changes both the shape and size of an object.

• A rigid transformation changes the shape and size of an object, while a non-rigid transformation preserves the shape and size of an object.

• A rigid transformation changes the position of an object, while a non-rigid transformation changes the shape and size of an object.

What is the image of a point after a translation?

• A translated point is obtained by dividing the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of the original point.

• A translated point is obtained by adding the same amount to the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of the original point.

• A translated point is obtained by subtracting the same amount from the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of the original point.

• A translated point is obtained by multiplying the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of the original point.

What is the image of a point after a reflection?

• The point itself

• The point becomes a line segment.

• The point disappears.

• The point moves to a different location.

What is the image of a point after a rotation?

• The image of a point after a rotation is another point.

• The image of a point after a rotation is a shape.

• The image of a point after a rotation is a curve.

• The image of a point after a rotation is a line.
