Coordinate Plane/Transformations Flashcards
(12 cards)
Any of the four regions of the coordinate plane
Quadrant
A plane formed by 2 perpendicular number line called axes; every point can be named by an ordered pair of numbers
Coordinate Plane
A pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate plane
Ordered Pair
The point on the coordinate plane where the x-axis and the y-axis intersect (0,0)
Origin
A change in size, shape, or position of a geometric figure
Transformation
The horizontal axis on the coordinate plane
x-axis
The vertical axis on a coordinate plane
y-axis
The first number in an ordered pair; locating a point on the x-axis of a coordinate plane
x-coordinate
The second number in an ordered pair; locating a point on the y-axis of a coordinate plane
y-coordinate
A transformation that moves a geometric figure by sliding each of the points the same distance in the same directions
Translation
A transformation that produces a mirror image of a geometric figure
Reflection
A transformation of a figure by turning it about a fixed point called the center of rotation or axis
Rotation
