Exercise 36 Page 314

Analyze the distance from the vertices of the preimage and the vertices of the image to the axis.

Reflection or Rotation

Practice makes perfect

Let's recall the definitions of reflection, translation, and rotation.

  • A reflection is a transformation over a line called the line of reflection. Each point of the preimage and its image are the same distance from the line of reflection.
  • A translation is a transformation that moves all points of the original figure the same distance in the same direction.
  • A rotation is a transformation about a fixed point called the center of rotation, through a specific angle, and in specific direction. Each point of the original figure and its image are the same distance from the center.
