Across
- 4. a transformation which has the same effect as a mirror.
- 7. a process by which one figure, expression, or function is converted into another one of similar value.
- 10. a straight line passing from side to side through the center of a body or figure, especially a circle or sphere.
- 11. the direction or position of something, or the direction of movement, relative to a fixed point. It is usually measured in degrees, typically with magnetic north as zero.
Down
- 1. the branch of mathematics which uses letters and symbols to represent numbers or other mathematical objects, and the relationships between them.
- 2. The position of a point on a grid can be given by a pair of numbers which are its distances from two lines called the x-axis and the y-axis.
- 3. a quantity having direction as well as magnitude, especially as determining the position of one point in space relative to another.
- 5. a transformation which changes the size of an object without changing its shape, rather as a projector enlarges the details of a photographic slide onto a screen.
- 6. a plane figure with eight straight sides and eight angles.
- 8. a transformation which moves points so that they stay the same distance from a fixed point, the center of rotation. The points are all turned through the same angle about the center and appear to move along arcs of concentric circles.
- 9. a starting point. It is the zero mark on a number line, or the point where coordinate axes cross.
