Translations

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

A translation is a type of transformation that moves every point of a figure or a space by the same distance in a given direction.

Front

What is the translation rule for moving a point 3 units left and 4 units up?

Back

T(x,y)→(x-3,y+4)

Front

How do you represent a translation of 2 units up?

Back

(x, y) → (x, y + 2)

Front

What is the translation rule for moving a point 2 units left and 3 units up?

Back

(x,y) → (x-2, y+3)

Front

If a point is translated from (x, y) to (x-4, y), how far does it move?

Back

4 units left

Front

What does the transformation (x, y) → (x - 1, y + 4) represent?

Back

Slide left 1, up 4

Front

What is the effect of translating a point 5 units right?

Back

The translation rule is (x, y) → (x + 5, y).

Front

What happens to the coordinates of a point when it is translated 3 units down?

Back

The translation rule is (x, y) → (x, y - 3).

Front

If a point (2, 3) is translated 4 units left and 2 units up, what are the new coordinates?

Back

(2-4, 3+2) = (-2, 5).

Front

What is the translation rule for moving a point 6 units right and 1 unit down?

Back

(x, y) → (x + 6, y - 1).
