Translations

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

A translation is a type of transformation that moves every point of a 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 original figure prior to a transformation called?

Back

Pre-image

Front

Write the rule for translating a point 3 units up and 2 units to the right.

Back

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

Front

Identify the transformation from point A(2, 3) to A'(10, 7).

Back

(x + 8, y + 4)

Front

If a shape is translated 5 units to the right and 2 units down, what is the translation rule?

Back

(x, y) --> (x + 5, y - 2)

Front

What does the term 'image' refer to in transformations?

Back

The image is the result of a transformation applied to the pre-image.

Front

How do you represent a translation of a point (x, y) 4 units left and 3 units up?

Back

(x, y) --> (x - 4, y + 3)

Front

What is the effect of the translation rule (x, y) --> (x + 1, y - 1)?

Back

It moves the point 1 unit to the right and 1 unit down.

Front

If point P(1, 2) is translated using the rule (x, y) --> (x + 3, y + 4), what are the new coordinates?

Back

(4, 6)
