translation

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What does the notation (x + a, y + b) represent in translations?

Back

It represents a translation of a point (x, y) by 'a' units horizontally and 'b' units vertically.

Front

If a point (3, 4) is translated using the rule (x - 1, y + 2), what is the new position?

Back

(2, 6)

Front

What is the effect of a translation on the size and shape of a figure?

Back

A translation does not change the size or shape of a figure; it only changes its position.

Front

How do you describe a translation that moves a shape 5 units to the right and 3 units down?

Back

The translation can be described by the rule (x + 5, y - 3).

Front

What is the difference between translation and reflection?

Back

Translation moves a shape without changing its orientation, while reflection flips a shape over a line.

Front

If triangle ABC is translated to triangle A'B'C', what can you say about their corresponding sides?

Back

The corresponding sides of triangle ABC and triangle A'B'C' are equal in length.

Front

What is the translation vector for moving a point from (2, 3) to (5, 1)?

Back

The translation vector is (3, -2).

Front

In a translation, what happens to the coordinates of a point?

Back

The coordinates of a point change according to the translation rule applied.

Front

What is the rule for translating a point (x, y) left by 4 units and up by 2 units?

Back

The rule is (x - 4, y + 2).
