The word image is used in three related ways.
													
																	Image point definition math. 
									
	
		
	
																	The image of a subset a x under f denoted. 
																	A dilation is a type of transformation that changes the size of the image the scale factor sometimes called the scalar factor measures how much larger or smaller the image is below is a picture of each type of dilation one that gets larger and one that gest smaller. 
																	Preimage point a point to which a transformation has been applied. 
																	Reflection over the y axis. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	Preimage the original figure in a transformation. 
																	X y is a function from the set x to the set y. 
																	Drag the point p to see this. 
																	Points a b c are the images of points a b and c respectively. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	Drag the points below they are shown as dots so you can see. 
																	Image of a subset. 
																	Image of an element. 
																	What is a point in math. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	The new position of a point a line a line segment or a figure after a transformation is called its image. 
																	If x is a member of x then the image of x under f denoted f x is the value of f when applied to x. 
																	F x is alternatively known as the output of f for argument x. 
																	It has no size only position. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	Every point is the same distance from a central line. 
																	In the example shown below triangle a b c is the image of triangle a b c after translation. 
																	X y is any function not necessarily invertible the preimage or inverse image of an element is the set of all elements of x that map to y. 
																	Image definition a physical likeness or representation of a person animal or thing photographed painted sculptured or otherwise made visible. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	In this case they axis would be called the axis of reflection. 
																	A reflection of a point a line or a figure in the y axis involved reflecting the image over the y axis to create a mirror image. 
																	In these definitions f. 
																	In this image of an angle the points of the angle are x y and z making it angle xyz. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	Preserved property under a transformation a property which if present in a preimage is present in the image. 
																	Angles are also named according to their points. 
																	Illustrated definition of point. 
																	You can see that by definition the point p image of p is the same distance from the line as p itself.
