Translations 2

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

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

Front

How do you describe a translation in terms of direction and distance?

Back

A translation is described by specifying how far to move the figure in the horizontal (left/right) and vertical (up/down) directions.

Front

What is the effect of translating a point (x, y) down 5 units?

Back

The new coordinates will be (x, y - 5).

Front

If a figure is translated 3 units to the left, how is this represented algebraically?

Back

The new coordinates will be (x - 3, y).

Front

What are the new coordinates of point (2, 3) after a translation of 4 units right and 2 units down?

Back

The new coordinates will be (6, 1).

Front

How can you represent a translation of a figure algebraically?

Back

A translation can be represented as (x + a, y + b), where 'a' is the horizontal shift and 'b' is the vertical shift.

Front

What is the translation rule for moving a figure 5 units up and 2 units left?

Back

The translation rule is (x - 2, y + 5).

Front

How do you translate a triangle ABC to triangle A'B'C' if A(1, 2) is moved to A'(5, -7)?

Back

The translation is 4 units right and 9 units down.

Front

What is the translation of quadrilateral EFGH if E(0, 0) is moved to E'(-3, -6)?

Back

The translation is 3 units left and 6 units down.

Front

How do you find the translation vector for a figure?

Back

The translation vector can be found by subtracting the original coordinates from the new coordinates.
