Three types of Translations

 Rotation = Turn!

 

• “Rotation” means turning around a center:
• The distance from the center to any point on the shape stays the same.
• Every point makes a circle around the center.

Reflection = Flip!

 

 

 

• Reflection about the X axis
• Reflection about the Y axis
• Reflection about the origin (Inverse functions)

Translation = Slide!

• Every point of the shape must move:
• the same distance
• in the same direction.
