Transformations Flashcards
(30 cards)
image meaning?
the result of a transformation
line of reflection meaning?
the perpendicular bisector of the segment joining each point on the pre image to the corresponding point on the image
perpendicular bisector meaning?
a line, ray, or line segment that intersects a segment and is perpendicular to the segment at its mid point
pre image meaning?
a geometric shape before the transformation
reflection meaning?
mirrored geometric shape by flipping it across the line of reflection
rigid transformation meaning?
a transformation that preserves the size, length, shape, lines and angle measures of a figure
the pre image and image are congruent T or F?
True
The name for reflected figures?
Prime
reflections preserve orientation, T or F?
False
vertices are congruent always, T or F?
False
What is the R X axis rule?
X,Y become X,-Y
What is the R Y Axis rule?
X,Y becomes -X,Y
What is the R X = Y (or R Y = X) rule?
X,Y becomes Y,X
What is the R Y = - X rule?
X,Y becomes -Y,-X
Translation meaning?
a rigid transformation that moves every point of the pre image of an object the same distance and direction to create the image
All of the segments are parallel and the same length T, or F?
True
A way to represent a translation?
A function
What is T A,B X,Y rule?
X,Y becomes X + A, Y + B
Guide to moving on the X axis for translations?
(#+,Y) = move right
(#-,Y) = move left (negative)
guide to moving on the Y axis for translations?
(X,+#) = move up
(X,-#) = move down (negative)
angle of rotation meaning?
measure of how much a shape is rotated around a point
center of rotation meaning?
the fixed point around which a shape is rotated
rotation meaning?
original transformation that changes the position of a shape
how can you tell if the angle measure is negative or positive?
negative - clockwise
positive - counter clockwise
