Translations on the Coordinate Plane

Front

What is a translation in the context of the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What does the prime symbol (') indicate in geometry?

Back

The prime symbol indicates the image of a point or figure after a transformation, such as a translation.

Front

How do you translate a point (x, y) to the left by 2 units and up by 3 units?

Back

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

Front

What are the coordinates of point A' if point A is at (3, 4) and is translated 5 units down?

Back

The new coordinates will be (3, -1).

Front

If triangle ABC is translated using the rule (x + 4, y - 2), what is the new position of point B at (1, 2)?

Back

The new position of point B will be (5, 0).

Front

What is the effect of the translation (x - 3, y + 6) on point C at (2, 1)?

Back

The new coordinates will be (-1, 7).

Front

Which of the following describes a translation of 3 units right and 2 units down?

Back

The translation rule is (x + 3, y - 2).

Front

If triangle DEF is translated to triangle D'E'F' using the rule (x + 1, y - 4), what does D' represent?

Back

D' represents the new position of point D after the translation.

Front

What is the translation rule for moving a figure 6 units left and 3 units up?

Back

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

Front

How do you express the translation of triangle GHI to triangle G'H'I' if G is at (0, 0) and G' is at (-5, 2)?

Back

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