b) a ______ (or flip) is a transformation across a line.
c) a translation (or ______) is a transformation in which all the points of a figure move the same distance in the same direction.
d) a ______ (or turn) is a transformation about a point.
word bank: rotation, image, dilation, slide, transformation, original, reflection

Explanation:

Part a)

Step1: Recall transformation definition

A transformation is the movement of a figure from its original position to a new position. So we identify the term "transformation" from the word bank.

Step1: Recall reflection definition

A reflection (or flip) is a transformation across a line. So we identify the term "reflection" from the word bank.

Step1: Recall translation definition

A translation (or slide) is a transformation in which all the points of a figure move the same distance in the same direction. So we identify the term "slide" (since translation is also called slide) from the word bank.

Answer:

transformation
