Types of Transformations
When a shape is flipped over a line creating a mirror image, this transformation is called a ________.
Reflection
The shape before a transformation is applied is called the ________.
pre-image
The action of sliding a shape from one position to another without rotating or flipping it is referred to as ________.
moving
The transformation that turns a shape around a fixed point, altering its orientation but not its size, is known as a ________.
Rotation
The result of applying a transformation to a shape is known as the ________.
image
The action of turning a shape around a fixed point is known as ________.
rotating
A shape that looks the same after being flipped over a line of reflection exhibits ________.
symmetry
The point around which a shape rotates is called the ________.
center of rotation
When you flip a shape over a line to create a mirror image, you are ________ the shape.
reflecting
When a shape looks the same after being turned 90 degrees around a point, this is known as ________ symmetry.
rotational symmetry
