Example Question #2 : Parallel Lines: Ccss.Math.Content.8.G.A.1c
Observe the location of the black and orange parallel lines on the provided coordinate plane and identify which of the following transformations—rotation, translation, or reflection—the black lines have undergone in order to reach the position of the orange lines. Select the answer that provides the correct transformation shown in the provided image.
Translation to the left
A , clockwise rotation
Reflection over the y-axis
Reflection over the y-axis
First, let's define the possible transformations.
Rotation: A rotation means turning an image, shape, line, etc. around a central point.
Translation: A translation means moving or sliding an image, shape, line, etc. over a plane.
Reflection: A reflection mean flipping an image, shape, line, etc. over a central line.
In the images from the question, the lines were not rotated , clockwise because that rotation would have caused the lines to move to the right, but the lines were moved to the right. The lines were not moved to the left, as the translation is described in the answer choice, because the lines changed direction; thus, the correct answer is a reflection over the y-axis.
Example Question #1 : Parallel Lines: Ccss.Math.Content.8.G.A.1c
Observe the location of the black and orange parallel lines on the provided coordinate plane and identify which of the following transformations—rotation, translation, or reflection—the black lines have undergone in order to reach the position of the orange lines. Select the answer that provides the correct transformation shown in the provided image.

First, let's define the possible transformations.
Rotation: A rotation means turning an image, shape, line, etc. around a central point.
Translation: A translation means moving or sliding an image, shape, line, etc. over a plane.
Reflection: A reflection mean flipping an image, shape, line, etc. over a central line.
In the images from the question, notice that the lines made a rotation to the left around the y-axis, and the rotation was . Also, the lines changed from being horizontal to vertical, which is a sign that the lines were rotated; thus the transformation is a rotation.
The transformation can't be a reflection over the x-axis because the orange lines didn't flip over the x-axis.
The transformation can't be a translation because the line changes direction, which does not happened when you simply move or slide a line or image.

In the images from the question, notice that the black lines rotates counterclockwise, or left around the y-axis; thus the transformation is a rotation.
The transformation can't be a reflection over the x-axis because the orange lines didn't flip over the x-axis.
The transformation can't be a translation down because the lines didn't not move down.

First, let's define the possible transformations.
Rotation: A rotation means turning an image, shape, line, etc. around a central point.
Translation: A translation means moving or sliding an image, shape, line, etc. over a plane.
Reflection: A reflection mean flipping an image, shape, line, etc. over a central line.
In the images from the question, the lines were not rotated because that rotation would have caused the lines to be vertical, but the lines are still horizontal.
