Rigid transformations quiz: 10 questions

Question 1
What is the image of \((3, 4)\) after a translation 2 left and 5 up?

Question 2
What is the reflection of \((7, -2)\) across the x-axis?

Question 3
-3-2-1123-7-6-5-4-3-2-11234567xyP
Point P(-1, 6) on the grid.

What is the image of \((-1, 6)\) after a \(180^{\circ}\) rotation about the origin?

Question 4
-4-3-2-1123412345xyABCA’B’C’
Two triangles.

Which transformation maps \(ABC\) onto \(A^{\prime}B^{\prime}C^{\prime}\)?

Question 5
Which is NOT preserved by a rotation?

Question 6
What is the image of \((2, 7)\) after a \(90^{\circ}\) clockwise rotation about the origin?

Question 7
123456781234xyABCDEF
Two triangles.

Which transformation maps \(ABC\) onto \(DEF\)?

Question 8
Two figures are congruent when

Question 9
A triangle is reflected across a line. Which statement about the image is true?

Question 10
Reflect \((a, b)\) across the y-axis. What is the image?

Remember

Remember
  • Translation by \((a, b)\): \((x, y) \to (x + a, y + b)\).
  • Reflection across the x-axis: \((x, -y)\); across the y-axis: \((-x, y)\).
  • Rotation about the origin: \(90^{\circ}\) counterclockwise \((-y, x)\); \(180^{\circ}\) \((-x, -y)\); \(90^{\circ}\) clockwise \((y, -x)\).
  • Rigid motions preserve lengths, angles and parallel lines.
  • Two figures are congruent if a sequence of rigid motions maps one to the other.
