Translations

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What are the coordinates of point M (-3, 5) after the translation (x, y) --> (x - 1, y)?

Back

(-4, 5)

Front

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

Back

Pre-image

Front

What is the translation rule for moving a point 2 units to the right and 3 units up?

Back

(x, y) --> (x + 2, y + 3)

Front

If a shape is translated 5 units to the left and 3 units down, what is the translation rule?

Back

(x, y) --> (x - 5, y - 3)

Front

What does the notation (x + a, y + b) represent in translations?

Back

It represents a translation where the shape is moved 'a' units horizontally and 'b' units vertically.

Front

Identify the transformation from ABC to A'B'C' if the rule is (x + 8, y + 4).

Back

The transformation is a translation 8 units to the right and 4 units up.

Front

What is the image in a transformation?

Back

The image is the resulting figure after a transformation has been applied to the pre-image.

Front

How do you express a translation that moves a shape 3 units down?

Back

(x, y) --> (x, y - 3)

Front

What is the effect of the translation rule (x - 4, y - 8) on a point?

Back

It moves the point 4 units to the left and 8 units down.
