Translations

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What does the notation (x, y) --> (x + a, y + b) represent?

Back

It represents a translation where the shape is moved 'a' units horizontally and 'b' units vertically.

Front

If a shape is translated 3 units left and 4 units up, what is the arrow notation?

Back

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

Front

What is the effect of translating a shape 0 units horizontally and 5 units down?

Back

The shape will move vertically down by 5 units without any horizontal movement.

Front

How do you describe the translation (x, y) --> (x + 2, y - 3)?

Back

Slide right 2 units and down 3 units.

Front

What is the translation rule for moving a shape 6 units right and 2 units down?

Back

(x, y) --> (x + 6, y - 2)

Front

If a shape is translated 5 units left, what is the change in the x-coordinate?

Back

The x-coordinate decreases by 5.

Front

What does it mean to translate a shape 10 units up?

Back

It means to move every point of the shape vertically upwards by 10 units.

Front

What is the result of translating the point (3, 4) by (2, -1)?

Back

The new point will be (5, 3).

Front

How do you express a translation of 4 units right and 3 units up in arrow notation?

Back

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