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.

Explanation:

1. The first blank refers to a general term for actions that alter a figure's position, shape, or size.
2. The second blank describes a transformation that shifts a figure without modifying its key properties.
3. The third blank is for a transformation that rotates a figure around a fixed point.
4. The fourth blank is for a transformation that creates a mirror image over a line.

Answer:

1. transformation changes a figure's position, shape, or size.
2. translation slides a figure in any direction without changing its size, shape, or orientation.
3. rotation turns a figure around a fixed point.
4. reflection flips a figure over a line, creating a mirror image.
