Geometric Transformations in Algebra Quiz

Dilation is a transformation that enlarges or reduces a figure while preserving its shape.

Reflection is a transformation that mirrors a figure over a line, creating a symmetrical image.

Reflection over a point involves flipping a figure as if it were reflected in a mirror located at the specified point.

Flipping a figure over a line is termed reflection, creating a mirrored image.

A 180-degree rotation results in the figure staying identical to its original orientation.

Translation is a transformation that moves a figure in a straight line without altering its shape or size.

Translation is the only transformation that maintains the distance between all points in a figure.

Dilation stretches or shrinks a figure from a fixed point, altering its size while maintaining shape.

Rotation is a transformation where a figure pivots around a fixed point, changing its orientation.

Double reflection over the same line results in the original figure, as the two reflections cancel each other.

A 90-degree counterclockwise rotation turns a figure one-fourth of a full circle in the counterclockwise direction.

A 270-degree counterclockwise rotation turns a figure three-fourths of a full circle in the counterclockwise direction.
