Translations, Rotations, Reflections, and Glide

Translations- or slide- moves every point of the plane a specific distance in a specified direction along a straight line.

Rotations- or turns- congruent figures that result from a rotation point about a point. A rotation is a transformation of a plane determined by holding one point-the center-fixed and rotating the plane about this point by a certain amount in a certain direction.

Reflections- or flip- mirror image, fold in half-get reflecting line and drawing the image gives the mirror image or image. A reflection reverses the orientation of the original figure

Glide Reflection- A glide reflection is a transformation consisting of a translation followed by a reflection in a line parallel to the slide arrow.

This video will help show you how to do translations, rotations, and reflections!
