Lesson 11.4Translations and Reflections

Translation - Each point of a figure is moved in the same distance in the same direction (sometimes called as slide).

Image- the figure you get after the transformation . The translation of A to its image is A’.

Line ReflectionsLine Reflection - Reflection occurs when points are redrawn across a line of symmetry at equal distance.

“Opposite of”

Reflect over Y-AXIS (-x, y) – opposite of x

Reflect over X-AXIS (x, -y) – opposite of y
