Line of Symmetry | A line that divides a figure into mirror images |
Image | The result of a transformation of a point, line, or figure |
Transformation | A change in the position, shape, or size of a figure |
Angle of Rotation | The number of degrees that a figure rotates |
Reflection | A transformation that flips a figure over a line |
Reflectional Symmetry | When a figure is reflected over a line, its image matches the original figure |
Scale Factor | The ratio of a length in the images to the corresponding length in the original figure |
Line of Reflection | A line across which a figure is reflected |
Center of Rotation | A fixed point about which a figure is rotated |
Reduction | A dilation with a scale factor less than 1 |
Enlargement | A dilation with a scale factor greater than 1 |
Translation | A transformation that moves each point of a figure the same distance and in the same direction |
Dilation | A transformation in which a figure and its image is similar |
Rotational Symmetry | It can be rotated 180 degrees or less and match the original figure |
Rotation | Transformation that turns a figure about a fixed point |
