c) turn
b. slide
The line about which a figure is reflected is called the line of ___________________.
reflection.
A rotation is also called a:
a) flip
b) slide
c) turn
c) turn
A transformation that shifts a figure horizontally and/or vertically, but does not change its size, shape, or orientation is called a __________________.
Translation
Which figures show a translation?
Figure A.
True or false, the above demonstrates a translation.
False
True or false, after you reflect a figure, the sides will have different lengths.
False
The point on which a figure rotates is called the _______ ___ ___________.
Center of Rotation

reflection
Your analog clock reads 12pm. The hour hand rotates 180 degrees. What time is it now?
6:00 pm
What is the measure of angle A'B'C'?
65 degrees. Angle measures stay the same.
What axis does the following reflect over (x or y)?
Y axis
Point P is at (4,-2). It is rotated 180 degrees about the origin. What are the coordinates of point P'?
(-4,2)
An angle of rotation with ______________ degrees turns an image counter-clockwise
Positive
Which axis does each of these translations occur on?
Translating a figure 2 units to the right and 3 units down.
Translating a figure 2 units to the right: x-axis
3 units down - y-axis
Which vector was T translated along to get T '?
Vector AB
Which of the above demonstrates a reflection?
Figure 2.
(Figure 1 is a slide - a translation.)
Puzzle piece C
An angle of rotation with a negative number of degrees turns a figure ______________
clockwise.
What type of transformation has this red figure undergone to get the blue image?
Translation
If it was a reflection, the points would be labeled differently.
The lines will be parallel (or they will coincide)
Tell whether the blue figure is a rotation of the red figure about the origin. If so, give the angle and direction.
Yes; 180 degrees clockwise or counter-clockwise.
