Transformation Vocabulary
Invariant - A figure or property that remains unchanged under a transformation of the plane is referred to as invariant. No variations have occurred
Opposite Transformation - An opposite transformation is a transformation that changes the orientation of a figure. Reflections and glide reflections are opposite
transformationsOrientation - Orientation refers to the arrangement of points, relative to one another, after a transformation has occurred
Position Vector - A position vector is a coordinate vector whose initial point is the origin. Any vector can be expressed as an equivalent position vector by translating the vector so that it originates at the origin.
