On the Cartesian plane a relfection in a line produces a mirror image
On the Cartesian plane a translation moves every point on a shape the same distance and in the same direction

translation, reflection, dilation
No, a reflection is a flipped graph of the same object/function over a specified axis. A translation just moves it to a different coordinate, without flipping it.
Glide Reflection
The 3 transformations of math are: translation, reflection and rotation. These are the well known ones. There is a fourth, dilation, in which the pre image is the same shape as the image, but the same size in the world
Well, darling, let me break it down for you. Non-examples of reflection in math terms would be things like rotation, translation, or dilation. Basically, anything that doesn't involve flipping an object over a line like a pancake on a Sunday morning. So, remember, reflection is all about mirroring, not spinning or shifting.
