Answer 9

reflection: transformation of a figure by flipping it across a line or line segment, creating a mirror image of the figure

rotation: the turning of a figure a certain number of degrees around a central point

translation: a one-to-one mapping between two sets of points

dilation: shrinking or expanding the image

Answer 10

yeah, sorry, I type slow

Answer 11

ok does the image seem smaller or bigger than the pre image

Answer 20

Answer 21

ok, what do u think it is then?

Answer 22

Answer 24

does the image look as if it is reflected over a line symmetrically between the images

Answer 25

no.

Answer 26

thus reflection is wrong

Answer 27

ok

Answer 28

now we have two answers a Rotation:a "turn about appoint " and a Translation "a slide in the given plane"

Answer 29

its definitely not rotation

Answer 30

but I also don't think it's translation, only because the image is smaller once the transformation happens.
