Rigid Transformations
A transformation that moves every point on a figure around a center by a given angle in a specific direction.
What is a rotation or "turn"?
The result of translations, rotations, and reflections on an object.
What is the image?
When plotting an ordered pair, which axis do we start with?
What is the x-axis?
A point where two or more edges meet
What is the vertex?
A transformation across a line, the resulting image is a mirror or the original
What is a reflection or "flip"?
To complete this transformation, you need a line to act as the "mirror".
What is a reflection?
In which quadrant does the point (6, 7) lie?
What is quadrant I?
To turn opposite of the way the hands of a clock turn
What is counter-clockwise?
A transformation that moves every point in a figure a specific distance and direction (up, down, left, right).
What is a Translation or "slide"?
To complete this transformation, you need the following information: direction and distance.
What is a translation?
In which quadrant is the point (-5, 7) located?
What is quadrant II?
To turn in the same direction as the hands of a clock
What is clockwise?
A transformation that keeps the size and shape of a figure the same.
What is a Rigid Transformation?
To complete this transformation you need the following information: direction, degrees, and center.
What is a rotation?
In which direction do the quadrants in the coordinate plane go?
What is counter-clockwise?
In your own words, what is a sequence?
specific order, process, or steps
True or false - A square will change its shape and size after a rigid transformation.
False - Rigid means unchanging
When two figures have the same size and shape and can be mapped perfectly on top of each other. Same size, shape, and angle measures.
What is congruence?
The coordinate (0, 5) lies on which axis?
What is the y-axis?
a pair of angles on opposite sides of a transversal line, situated between the two intersected lines
What are alternate interior angles?
