Looking for a transformations quiz? Then this Grade 8 quiz on Moving Shapes with Translations, Reflections, Rotations asks 10 multiple-choice questions with instant feedback. Ten multiple-choice questions check the coordinate rules for translations, reflections, and rotations. Read each figure carefully, pick one answer, and use the explanation to find the exact mistake behind any wrong choice.
Standards: 8.G.A.1, 8.G.A.3 · Level: Grade 8
What this Moving Shapes with Translations, Reflections, Rotations quiz checks
- Translations, reflections, and rotations keep lengths, angles, and parallel lines unchanged.
- A translation adds the same numbers to every x and y.
- Reflection across the x-axis: (x, y) → (x, −y); across the y-axis: (x, y) → (−x, y).
- Rotation 90° counterclockwise about the origin: (x, y) → (−y, x).
- The moved figure is the image; its labels carry a prime mark.
The 10 questions of the quiz
- Which rule reflects a point across the y-axis?
- What is the image of (9, −5) after a reflection across the x-axis?
- Rotate (6, 2) by 90° counterclockwise about the origin. What is the image?
- What is the image of (−2, 6) after a 180° rotation about the origin?
- A translation follows (x, y) → (x + 6, y − 2). Where does (−3, 8) go?
- Which property can change under a rigid motion?
- Triangle ABC and its image are shown. Which transformation maps △ABC onto △A′B′C′?
- Point P and its image P′ are plotted. Which translation moves P to P′?
- What is the image of (−4, 1) after a 270° counterclockwise rotation about the origin?
- Reflecting a figure across the x-axis and then across the y-axis gives the same image as which single transformation?
