Q: How do we identify transformations 


A:  To first understand this question we have to ask ourselves
WHAT ARE TRANSFORMATIONS ?
Transformations is when we move a geometric figure .
we have different kinds of transformations like 
  • Translation  
  • Dilation
  • Rotation
  • Reflection
These types of transformation all have different thing that move the figure in a different way.


Translation: 
A translation is when every point is move to a same distance as well as the same directions.


For example: figure one would be a translation because each coordinates are moved at the same time and direction. 
 this would usually be in unites saying it will go either left, right or down and up.

Dilation's is when a shape or image is enlarged or reduction on the size of the image. 







Rotation : Is when a figure is turned around a single point. 






Reflection  : Is a figure is flipped over a line  of symmetry . 

Try this out ;D




Which of the flowing transformations are shown?


1)  Dilation 

2) Reflection

3) Rotation

4) Translation
