What is a Translation?

When each point of a figure is moved the same distance and in the same direction.

100

What is a Reflection?

When a figure is flipped over a line.

What is a rotation?

When a figure is turned about a fixed point. 

100

The figure before the transformation occurs (original).

Pre-Image

What is the definition of dilation?

When a figure enlarges or reduces with respect to a fixed point.
