Translations picture to directions

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

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

Back

(x + 2, y - 3)

Front

What does it mean to translate a shape left?

Back

To translate a shape left means to move it horizontally to the left by a certain number of units.

Front

What does it mean to translate a shape up?

Back

To translate a shape up means to move it vertically upwards by a certain number of units.

Front

How do you write the translation of a point (x, y) moving 6 units right and 5 units up in algebraic notation?

Back

(x, y) --> (x + 6, y + 5)

Front

What is the effect of translating a shape down?

Back

Translating a shape down moves it vertically downwards by a specified number of units.

Front

If a triangle moves right 4 units and down 9 units, how can this be expressed?

Back

The triangle translates to the new position (x + 4, y - 9).

Front

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

Back

The x-coordinate decreases by the number of units moved left.

Front

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

Back

The y-coordinate increases by the number of units moved up.

Front

If a quadrilateral is translated left 3 units and down 6 units, what is the algebraic notation?

Back

(x, y) --> (x - 3, y - 6)
