WHAT IS A TRANSFORMATION?
A transformation is the word used to describe
how shapes move at different points, lines,
and even their own shape. The image before
it moves is called the pre-image. When the
shape is changed in any way it is undergoing
a transformation.
EXAMPLE
There are different categories of
transformation:
Translation- a slide

WHAT IS A TRANSLATION?
EXAMPLE
You see image ABC, the preimage, on a graph. Image A
B C was moved 4 to the
right and 4 down in order to
get the new translated
image.

WHAT IS A REFLECTION?
EXAMPLE
This shape is being
reflected over the Yaxis. As the image is
being flipped the
points are being as
well.

WHAT IS A ROTATION?
EXAMPLE
In this picture you
can see the
lighter triangle
being turned over
the Y-axis to
create the new
triangle.
