Maps one figure onto another figure in a plane. Transformations Maps one figure onto another figure in a plane.

Slide; moves each point in a figure the same distance and in the same direction. (x + a, y + b); directions where to move A tells you how far to move left or right B tells you how far to move up or down The original figure and its image are congruent Translations

Flip; a mirror image of the original figure over a line of reflection ( the x or the y axis). Reflection over the x-axis results in a vertical flip and only the y-coordinate changes. Reflection over the y-axis results in a horizontal flip and only the x-coordinate changes Reflections
