Presentation Transcript
Reflection Definition: A reflection over a line is a transformation in which each point of the original figure (pre-image) has an image that is the same distance from the line of reflection as the original point but is on the opposite side. • Reflection:-- image is congruent to original figure.
Translation Definition: A translation is a transformation, that slides every point of a figure the same distance in the same direction. A translation creates a figure that is congruent to the original figure and preserves distance and orientation
Rotation Definition: A rotation is a transformation that moves every point around a fixed point (usually the origin). Rotations are counterclockwise or clockwise. A rotation creates a figure that is congruent to the original figure and preserves distance and orientation
