11.1.3 Reflection 1. A reflection is a transformation which reflects all points of a plane in a line called the axis of reflection. 2. In a reflection, there is no change in shape and size but the orientation is changed. Any points on the axis of reflection do not change their positions. Example 3: 11.1.4 Rotation 1. A … Read more

11.1 Isometric Transformations 11.1.1 Transformation A transformation is a one-to-one correspondence or mapping between points of an object and its image on a plane.  11.1.2 Translation 1. A translation is a transformation which moves all the points on a plane through the same distance in the same direction.   2. Under a translation, the shape, size and orientation … Read more
