Transformations - Conclusion

The unit of transformation was intersecting to me because there were a lot of different kinds of transformation for example, there is translation which is when the figure only changes it's location. There is also reflection which is when the figure is exactly the same like a mirror there is also dilation which is that the figure gets bigger or smaller based on its scale factor then the last one is reflection which is when the figure either rotates 90 degrees clockwise or counter clockwise and 180 degrees clockwise and counter clockwise. The way you can apply translation in real life is by for example, you need to know which one is the original and which one is prime and you need to know what kind of translation it is.
