What is the slope of the line 4x - 2y = 8?
Answer: 2
Rewrite as y = 2x - 4, so the slope is 2.
A glide reflection combines a reflection with which other transformation?
Answer: Translation
A glide reflection is a reflection followed by a translation along the mirror line.
The midpoint of a segment is (2, 2) and one endpoint is (0, 0). The other endpoint is?
Answer: (4, 4)
The other endpoint is twice the midpoint minus the known endpoint: (4, 4).
Under a dilation centered at the origin with factor 1/2, point (8, 4) maps to?
Answer: (4, 2)
Multiply each coordinate by 1/2: (4, 2).
Which transformation would turn a shape into a larger, similar shape?
Answer: Dilation with factor greater than 1
A dilation with a scale factor greater than 1 enlarges the figure while keeping it similar.
What is the slope of a vertical line?
Answer: Undefined
A vertical line has no horizontal change, making the slope undefined.
Reflecting the point (-3, 7) across the y-axis gives?
Answer: (3, 7)
Reflecting across the y-axis negates the x-coordinate: (3, 7).
