A rule that changes the position or size of a shape.
Revise: Coordinate GeometryA transformation maps every point of an original shape to a corresponding point on its image. On a coordinate grid, the safest general method is to transform each vertex separately and then join the image vertices in the corresponding order.
Apply transformations in the stated order and label an intermediate image before comparing the original with the final image.
