What is a translation in geometry?

Back

A translation is a type of transformation that moves every point of a figure the same distance in a specified direction.

Front

How do you write a translation rule for a point (x, y) that moves 2 units right and 1 unit down?

Back

The translation rule is (x + 2, y - 1).

Front

If a quadrilateral is translated 6 units down and 3 units left, what is the translation rule?

Back

The translation rule is (x - 3, y - 6).

Front

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line with a slope of 5/8?

Back

The slope of the perpendicular line is -8/5.

Front

When translating a point, how does the 'y' coordinate change if the translation is upwards?

Back

The 'y' coordinate increases.

Front

What happens to the 'y' coordinate when translating a point downwards?

Back

The 'y' coordinate decreases.

Front

What is the general form of a translation rule for a point (x, y) that moves right by a units and up by b units?

Back

The translation rule is (x + a, y + b).

Front

How can you identify the transformation from one triangle to another?

Back

By analyzing the changes in coordinates of the vertices of the triangles.

Front

What is the effect of translating a shape on its size and orientation?

Back

Translation does not change the size or orientation of the shape; it only changes its position.

Front

If a point (3, 4) is translated using the rule (x + 8, y + 4), what are the new coordinates?

Back

The new coordinates are (11, 8).
