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 translate a point (x, y) 3 units to the right and 6 units up?

Back

To translate the point (x, y), you add 3 to the x-coordinate and 6 to the y-coordinate, resulting in (x + 3, y + 6).

Front

What is the effect of translating a point 4 units down?

Back

When translating a point 4 units down, you subtract 4 from the y-coordinate.

Front

What is the effect of translating a point 3 units to the left?

Back

When translating a point 3 units to the left, you subtract 3 from the x-coordinate.

Front

Which coordinate is affected when translating a point up or down?

Back

The y-coordinate is affected when translating a point up or down.

Front

Which coordinate is affected when translating a point left or right?

Back

The x-coordinate is affected when translating a point left or right.

Front

What is the result of translating the point (-9, 3) 4 units down and 3 units right?

Back

The result is (-6, -1).

Front

What is NOT a transformation?

Back

Imagination is NOT a transformation.

Front

What are the four main types of transformations in geometry?

Back

The four main types of transformations are translation, rotation, reflection, and dilation.

Front

If a point is translated 5 units to the right and 2 units up, what is the new position of the point (1, 1)?

Back

The new position is (6, 3).
