a ________ changes a figures position, shape, or size.
a ________ slides a figure in any direction without changing its size, shape, or orientation.
a ________ turns a figure around a fixed point.
a ________ flips a figure over a line, creating a mirror image.
a ________ resizes a figure by a scale factor, making it larger or smaller while maintaining its shape.
the number used to multiply the dimensions of a figure to enlarge or shrink it during a dilation is called the ________.

Explanation:

1. A transformation changes a figure's position, shape, or size.
2. A translation slides a figure in any direction without changing its size, shape, or orientation.
3. A rotation turns a figure around a fixed point.
4. A reflection flips a figure over a line, creating a mirror - image.
5. A dilation resizes a figure by a scale factor, making it larger or smaller while maintaining its shape.
6. The number used to multiply the dimensions of a figure to enlarge or shrink it during a dilation is called the scale factor.
