Question

match the items. a transformation that moves every point on a figure a given distance in a given direction. the position of a figure after a transformation. a change in the position and/or size of a figure or graph. a transformation creating a mirror image of a figure or graph on the opposite side of a line. a transformation in which the size of a figure or graph changes, but the shape of the figure or graph stays the same.

Explanation:

Response
1. First item: "A transformation that moves every point on a figure a given distance in a given direction."
  • Explanation: The definition matches "Translation" (moving a figure without rotation/reflection, just distance and direction).
  • Answer: Translation
2. Second item: "The position of a figure after a transformation."
  • Explanation: The term for the figure after transformation is "Image".
  • Answer: Image
3. Third item: "A change in the position and/or size of a figure or graph."
  • Explanation: This is the general definition of "Transformation" (any change in position/size/shape of a figure/graph).
  • Answer: Transformation
4. Fourth item: "A transformation creating a mirror image of a figure or graph on the opposite side of a line"
  • Explanation: This is the definition of "Reflection" (mirror image over a line).
  • Answer: Reflection (already correctly selected)
5. Fifth item: "A transformation in which the size of a figure or graph changes, but the shape of the figure or graph stays the same."
  • Explanation: This is the definition of "Stretch" (or dilation, but "Stretch" fits as it changes size while preserving shape).
  • Answer: Stretch

So the matches are:

  1. A transformation that moves every point on a figure a given distance in a given direction. → Translation
  2. The position of a figure after a transformation. → Image
  3. A change in the position and/or size of a figure or graph. → Transformation
  4. A transformation creating a mirror image of a figure or graph on the opposite side of a line → Reflection
  5. A transformation in which the size of a figure or graph changes, but the shape of the figure or graph stays the same. → Stretch
