Translations

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

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

Front

If a point T is at (2, -5), where will T be after translating it 3 units to the right and 6 units up?

Back

(5, 1)

Front

What is the algebraic notation for translating a point (x, y) 2 units right and 5 units up?

Back

(x, y) --> (x + 2, y + 5)

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The horizontal axis in a coordinate plane.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The vertical axis in a coordinate plane.

Front

If a point is translated 4 units left, what is the algebraic notation?

Back

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

Front

What happens to the coordinates of a point when it is translated 0 units?

Back

The coordinates remain the same.
