The original figure prior to a transformation.

• Pre-image
• Image

True or false: A reflection makes a congruent figure. 

• true

• Rotation
• Transformation

Identify the transformation from C to D.

• 90^o Counter Clockwise Rotation

• 360^o Rotation

What does a translation do to an image?

• Turns it 90* clockwise
• Mirrors it
• Shrinks it
• Slides it

Which answer shows a reflection across the y-axis?

• a
• b
• c
• d

A type of transformation where a figure is “flipped” over a line of symmetry. A reflection produces a mirror image of a figure.
