Translations

Front

What is the effect of translating a shape left or right on a coordinate plane?

Back

The x-coordinate is affected.

Front

If shape B is translated to shape A by moving 5 units right and 3 units up, what are the translation values?

Back

5 Right, 3 Up

Front

What is the term for the original figure before a transformation occurs?

Back

Pre-image

Front

When translating a shape up or down on a coordinate plane, which coordinate is affected?

Back

The y-coordinate is affected.

Front

What does the transformation (x, y) --> (x, y + 4) indicate?

Back

Slide up 4 units.

Front

What is the general formula for translating a point (x, y) to the right by 'a' units and up by 'b' units?

Back

(x + a, y + b) is the new point after translation.

Front

What is the difference between a translation and a rotation in geometry?

Back

A translation slides a shape without changing its orientation, while a rotation turns a shape around a fixed point.

Front

How does translating a shape affect its size and shape?

Back

Translating a shape does not change its size or shape; it only changes its position.

Front

What is the result of translating the point (2, 3) 4 units left and 2 units down?

Back

The new point is (-2, 1).

Front

In a translation, if the x-coordinate increases, which direction is the shape moving?

Back

The shape is moving to the right.
