Drag and drop the definition to the correct words/answer choices i provided

1. A figure in the plane has this if the figure can be mapped onto itself by a rotation of 180 degrees or less. What is it?
2. A type of composite or combination transformation of a reflection over a line followed by a translation or vice versa. What is it?

3. the operation that maps, or moves, a preimage onto an image. What is it?

4. A line that a figure in the plane has if the figure can be mapped onto itself by a reflection in the line. What is it?

5. Also known as the angle of rotation; the measure of degrees that a figure is rotated about a fixed point. What is it?

6. a type of transformation that maps every 2 point P and Q in the plane to points P' and Q' so that PP'=QQ', PP' is parallel to QQ', or PP' and QQ' are collinear

7. a tranformation that preserves lengths; aka rigid transformation

8. a type of transformation in which a figure is turned about a fixed point

9. motion that proceeds in the same direction as the hands of a clock, from top right, down, then left, back to the top; in math it is in the negative degree direction.

10. a dilation tranformation in which the scale factor is more than 1 which causes the image to be larger, stretched, or expanded, yet is similar (same shape, different size) to the original preimage

11. the new figure that results from the transformation of a figure in a plane

12. a dilation with a scale factor less than 1 which reduces the size of the original figure

13. a line that acts as a mirror and reflects an image for a transformation

14. the original figure in the transformation of a figure in a plane.

15. a type of transformation, with center C and scale factor k, that maps every point P in the plane to a point P'

16. the k or the multiplier of a dilation
