Answer 2

Define: translation.

Answer 3

umm i kinda of forgot but its has to do with some tesellation

Answer 4

but i think yes it can change the orientation because however you move, i guess it changes

Answer 5

A third type of symmetry is translation. Translating an object means moving it without rotating or reflecting it. You can describe a translation by stating how far it moves an object, and in what direction.

The answer is, "no."

Answer 6

You'd be surprised what Google can do for you, ya' know?

Answer 7

lol true and oh ok i see why now but can i ask you another?

Answer 8

Go ahead, I'm here all day just sittin'; wastin' time.

Answer 9

- Reflectional: can it be reflected, over which axis?, w/o changing it's direction/orientation?

Answer 10

To reflect an object means to produce its mirror image. Every reflection has a mirror line. A reflection of an "R" is a backwards "R"

Over the x-axis.

Answer 11

ok so that would change its direction and orientation right?

Answer 12

If it was reflected over the x-axis, it's direction would not change.

Answer 14

i dont get it, which one is it, like change or not

Answer 15

Answer 16

It was reflecting over the x-axis on the picture. From that you can conclude that reflections are on x-axis because it was demonstrated that way.

Answer 17

I don't know much about this, so you're really on your own. I suggest opening your text book.

Answer 18

Translations just move the graph up/down or left/right. So the orientation shouldn't change. Example:
