Translations

Front

What does the word translation mean in math?

Back

To change an object by sliding it.

Front

What is an example of a translation?

Back

A shape moved from one position to another without rotation or flipping.

Front

Translate shape B to shape A: 5 Right, 3 Up. What does this mean?

Back

Move shape B 5 units to the right and 3 units up to reach shape A.

Front

Translate the blue shape to the green shape: 3 Left, 3 Down. What does this mean?

Back

Move the blue shape 3 units to the left and 3 units down to reach the green shape.

Front

What is the difference between translation and rotation in geometry?

Back

Translation slides an object without changing its orientation, while rotation turns an object around a point.

Front

If a point (2, 3) is translated 4 units to the right and 2 units down, what are the new coordinates?

Back

(6, 1) - The new coordinates after translation.

Front

What is the rule for translating a point (x, y) 3 units left and 2 units up?

Back

The new point will be (x - 3, y + 2).

Front

How do you represent a translation in coordinate geometry?

Back

By using a translation vector, such as (a, b), where 'a' is the horizontal shift and 'b' is the vertical shift.

Front

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

Back

The size and orientation of the shape remain unchanged after translation.

Front

If a triangle has vertices at (1, 1), (2, 3), and (3, 1), what are the new vertices after translating it 2 units right?

Back

(3, 1), (4, 3), (5, 1) - The new vertices after translation.
