or object to a new position without
changing its size or shape!

A translation moves a figure in a straight
direction.
In other words, a translation moves an
object up, down, or diagonally.

Reflection:
A reflection of a figure gives it a mirror
image over a line.
In other words, a reflection of an
image is like putting it against a
mirror. (Flip)

In other words, with a rotation the object will
move in a circular motion around a certain
point.
