Here are the definitions matched to the corresponding terms:

  1. Line of Symmetry: A line that divides a shape into two mirror-image halves.

  2. Reflection: A transformation that creates a mirror image of a shape over a line of symmetry.

  3. Rotation: A transformation that turns a shape around a fixed point at a certain angle.

  4. Transformation: A general term for operations that alter the form of a shape (including translations, rotations, reflections, and dilations).

  5. Dilation: A transformation that changes the size of a shape while maintaining its proportions.

  6. Pre Image: The original shape or figure before a transformation is applied.

  7. Image: The result of a transformation applied to a pre-image.

  8. Shrink: A transformation where an object is reduced in size proportionally.

  9. Degree of Rotation: The angle in which a shape is rotated around a fixed point.

  10. Clockwise: The direction of rotation that is similar to the movement of the hands of a clock.

  11. Scale Factor: A number that scales, or multiplies, the dimensions of a shape during a dilation.

  12. Translation: A transformation that slides a shape from one position to another without changing its size or orientation.

  13. Enlargement/Expansion: A transformation that increases the size of a shape while maintaining its proportions.
