How do you represent a translation mathematically?

Back

A translation can be represented as (x, y) --> (x+a, y+b), where 'a' is the horizontal shift and 'b' is the vertical shift.

What is the difference between reflection and translation?

Back

Reflection creates a mirror image of a shape, while translation moves the shape without changing its orientation.

How do you determine the direction of a translation?

Back

The direction of a translation is determined by the values added or subtracted from the x and y coordinates.
