Translations

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What are the coordinates of a point after translating it 5 units to the right and 2 units down from (3, 4)?

Back

(8, 2)

Front

When translating a shape, which coordinate is affected when moving left or right?

Back

x-coordinate

Front

When translating a shape, which coordinate is affected when moving up or down?

Back

y-coordinate

Front

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

Back

A'(–2, 4)

Front

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

Back

The shape moves straight up or down without changing its horizontal position.

Front

If triangle ABC is translated down 3 units and right 4 units, what are the new coordinates of point A(1, 2)?

Back

A'(5, -1)

Front

What is the translation vector for moving a shape 8 units down and 5 units to the right?

Back

(5, -8)

Front

How do you describe the translation of a shape from (x, y) to (x+8, y+4)?

Back

The shape is translated 8 units to the right and 4 units up.

Front

If trapezoid ABCD is translated 5 units down and 1 unit to the right, what are the new coordinates of point B(4, 5)?

Back

B'(5, 4)
