FLASHCARD: Translations

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

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

Front

How do you represent a translation of 2 units right and 3 units down?

Back

(x+2, y-3)

Front

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

Back

(x, y+4)

Front

If a point is translated 5 units left and 2 units up, what is the new coordinate for point (3, 4)?

Back

(-2, 6)

Front

What does the notation (x, y) represent in translations?

Back

It represents the original coordinates of a point before translation.

Front

What is the effect of translating a point 0 units in the x-direction?

Back

The x-coordinate remains unchanged.

Front

If point A (1, 2) is translated 3 units left and 1 unit down, what are the new coordinates?

Back

(-2, 1)

Front

What is the translation rule for moving a point 6 units right?

Back

(x+6, y)

Front

How do you find the new coordinates after translating point B (4, -3) 2 units left and 5 units up?

Back

(2, 2)

Front

What is the translation rule for moving a point 7 units down?

Back

(x, y-7)
