Geometry / Math Tranformations
Translation involves “sliding” the object from one position to another.
Reflection involves “flipping” the object over a line called the line of reflection.
Rotation involves “turning” the object about a point called the center of rotation.
Dilation involves a resizing of the object. It could result in an increase in size (enlargement) or a decrease in size (reduction).
