What to State for Each Transformation
| Transformation | What to State | What Changes |
|---|---|---|
| Translation | The vector (x, y) | Position only |
| Reflection | The mirror line (e.g., y = x, x = 2) | Position, orientation flips |
| Rotation | Centre, angle, direction (CW/ACW) | Position, orientation |
| Enlargement | Centre, scale factor | Position, SIZE (only one!) |
