Learning Objective

I can perform and describe a sequence of transformations on a figure.

  • 1

    A glide reflection is a transformation that combines a translation and a reflection.

  • 2

    Reflecting a shape over two parallel lines is the same as performing a translation, where the translation distance is twice the distance between the lines.

  • 3

    Reflecting over two intersecting lines is the same as performing a rotation, where the rotation angle is twice the angle between the lines.
