6 concepts in this topic
These pages are designed to show motion clearly. Compare the original figure and the image directly so you can see what changes, what stays fixed, and how each transformation behaves.
07.01
Translation
A translation slides a figure without turning or resizing it.
07.02
Reflection
A reflection flips a figure across a line.
07.03
Rotation
A rotation turns a figure around a fixed point.
07.04
Dilation
A dilation enlarges or shrinks a figure by a scale factor.
07.05
Stretch
A stretch changes one direction more than another.
07.06
Glide Reflection
A glide reflection combines a translation with a reflection.
