Front

If you translate T 3 units to the right and 6 units up, where would T' be? (Assume T is at (2, -5))

Back

(5, 1)

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What does the term 'vector' refer to in translations?

Back

A quantity that has both direction and magnitude, used to describe the movement in a translation.

Front

How do you represent a translation on a coordinate plane?

Back

By using a rule that shows how each point (x, y) is moved to a new point (x + a, y + b), where a and b are the horizontal and vertical shifts.

Front

What is the effect of translating a figure 0 units horizontally and 5 units vertically?

Back

The figure moves straight up by 5 units.

Front

If a point A(1, 2) is translated 4 units left and 3 units down, what are the coordinates of the new point A'?

Back
