Read each question carefully and follow the instructions. Show all your work when necessary.
1. Which of the following is NOT an isometry (a transformation that preserves size and shape)?
Translation
Rotation
Dilation
Reflection
2. A sequence of two or more transformations is called a .
3. Reflecting a figure over the x-axis and then over the y-axis is equivalent to a rotation of degrees about the origin.
4. Graph the triangle with vertices A(1,1), B(4,1), and C(2,3). Then, apply the following transformations in order: a) Reflect over the y-axis, b) Translate 2 units down.
Write the coordinates of the final image A''B''C'':
5. A rotation followed by a translation will always result in the same final image as a translation followed by a rotation.
True
False
6. Describe a sequence of two transformations that would map triangle DEF with vertices D(-3,1), E(-1,1), F(-2,4) onto triangle D''E''F'' with vertices D''(3,-1), E''(1,-1), F''(2,-4).
