Translations

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

A translation is a type of transformation that moves every point of a shape a certain distance in a specified direction.

Front

How do you translate a point (x, y) 3 units right and 2 units up?

Back

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

Front

What does the transformation (x, y) --> (x, y - 4) represent?

Back

This transformation represents a translation 4 units down.

Front

If point A is at (2, 3) and is translated 5 units left and 1 unit down, what are the new coordinates?

Back

The new coordinates are (-3, 2).

Front

What is the effect of translating a shape 0 units horizontally and 0 units vertically?

Back

The shape remains in the same position; there is no change.

Front

How do you translate a shape 6 units down?

Back

Subtract 6 from the y-coordinate of each point of the shape.

Front

What are the new coordinates of point B (4, -2) after translating it 2 units right and 3 units up?

Back

The new coordinates are (6, 1).

Front

What is the rule for translating a point (x, y) 4 units left?

Back

The new coordinates will be (x - 4, y).

Front

If triangle DEF is translated to triangle D'E'F' by moving 3 units up and 2 units left, what is the transformation rule?

Back

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

Front

What happens to the coordinates of a point when it is translated 1 unit right and 5 units down?

Back

The new coordinates will be (x + 1, y - 5).
