Translation Practice

Front

What are congruent geometric figures?

Back

Congruent geometric figures have the same size and same shape.

Front

What happens to the point (-9, 3) when it is translated 4 units down and 3 units right?

Back

The point becomes (-6, -1).

Front

What does a translation do to a figure on the coordinate plane?

Back

A translation slides the figure without changing its size or shape.

Front

What is true about translations?

Back

Translations are always congruent.

Front

Write the rule for the translation: Slide 3 up and 2 right.

Back

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

Front

What is the effect of translating a figure?

Back

It moves the figure to a different location without altering its size or shape.

Front

If a triangle is translated 5 units left and 2 units down, what is the new position of the point (4, 6)?

Back

The new position is (-1, 4).

Front

What is the translation rule for moving a point (x, y) 4 units up?

Back

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

Front

What is the translation rule for moving a point (x, y) 3 units left?

Back

(x, y) --> (x - 3, y).

Front

How do you describe a translation in geometry?

Back

A translation is a transformation that moves every point of a figure the same distance in the same direction.
