Translation

Front

What is translation in geometry?

Back

Translation is a type of transformation that moves every point of a shape a certain distance in a specified direction.

Front

How do you describe a translation?

Back

A translation can be described using a vector, which indicates the direction and distance of the movement.

Front

What does the vector (3 right, 4 up) mean?

Back

It means to move a shape 3 units to the right and 4 units up from its original position.

Front

If a point (x, y) is translated 3 units to the left and 2 units down, what is the new position?

Back

The new position will be (x-3, y-2).

Front

What is the result of translating the point (2, 3) by the vector (4 right, 1 down)?

Back

The new point will be (6, 2).

Front

How do you find the coordinates of a point after translation?

Back

Add the translation vector to the original coordinates.

Front

What is the transformation vector from point A(1, 2) to A'(4, 5)?

Back

The transformation vector is (3 right, 3 up).

Front

If triangle ABC is translated 5 units left and 2 units up, what are the new coordinates of point A(3, 4)?

Back

The new coordinates will be (-2, 6).

Front

What happens to the shape of a figure during translation?

Back

The shape and size of the figure remain unchanged during translation.

Front

What is the difference between translation and rotation?

Back

Translation moves a shape without changing its orientation, while rotation turns a shape around a fixed point.
