A reflection is a transformation across a line, called the line of reflection, so that the line of reflection is the ______ of each segment joining each point and its image.

OpenStudy (richman98):

is there choices?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

|dw:1425342928568:dw| It turns out that the line joining A and A' has the mid-point at the intersection with the line of reflection, i.e. AA0 = A0A', and so on. It also turns out that AA' is perpendicular to the line of reflection, or line of symmetry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope. The direction was "Fill in the blanks to complete each definition". BUT I am looking into my notes and there is only 2 vocabulary which is Line of Reflection & Reflection.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So therefore the vocabulary is Line of Reflection?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Sigh!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And this question- An ______ is a transformation that does not change the shap or size of a figure which is Reflection, correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you so so so much for showing me the picture, helped me so much better with understanding the idea!!

OpenStudy (richman98):

the first one is the perpendicular bisector

OpenStudy (mathmate):

But have you found the word for the first one? It is a general geometry term.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Do you mean to put perpendicular bisector for the first question?

OpenStudy (richman98):

yes

OpenStudy (mathmate):

But I would prefer the OP to work on this.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

@Georgina_Buc There are many transformations which will not change the shape and size of the preimage, including rotation, reflection and translation.

OpenStudy (richman98):

the second one is isometric

OpenStudy (richman98):

i mean rotation, reflection and translation

OpenStudy (richman98):

or*

OpenStudy (mathmate):

@Richman98 Isometric is correct, because it includes all three, but it would be nice if you could explain what it means to the OP, so that he/she will find the answer for a future problem. CoC says we do not give direct answer, agree?

OpenStudy (richman98):

ok here is the link

OpenStudy (richman98):

http://hotmath.com/hotmath_help/topics/transformations-of-graphs.html so u can do research

OpenStudy (mathmate):

@Richman98 Remember, our goal at OS is not to provide quick answers, but to "study together", discuss, explain, give examples, and through other means so that we understand, and be able to solve similar problems.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually, my teacher never gives out the vocabulary so I have no clue what were the words that applies to those sentences, now I am researching those vocabulary words to know more definition of the vocabulary, it helped me a lot. thank you guys! :)

OpenStudy (richman98):

ok i understand

OpenStudy (mathmate):

That is very good, please do a good research and make sure you understand what they mean so you can apply them next time, or for exams!
