Translation

Front

What is Translation in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What is the algebraic notation for translating a point (x, y) 3 units right and 2 units down?

Back

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

Front

If a figure is translated 5 units left, what is the algebraic notation?

Back

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

Front

What happens to the x-coordinate when a figure is translated to the right?

Back

The x-coordinate increases.

Front

What happens to the y-coordinate when a figure is translated down?

Back

The y-coordinate decreases.

Front

What is the algebraic notation for translating a point (x, y) 4 units up?

Back

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

Front

If a figure is translated 6 units left and 3 units up, what is the algebraic notation?

Back

(x, y) --> (x - 6, y + 3)

Front

What is the effect of translating a figure 0 units in any direction?

Back

The figure remains unchanged.

Front

When translating a figure, what does the term 'up' indicate for the y-coordinate?

Back

It indicates an increase in the y-coordinate.

Front

What is the algebraic notation for translating a point (x, y) 10 units down?

Back

(x, y) --> (x, y - 10)
