Front

Identify the transformation: (x+2, y-5)

Back

This represents a translation of 2 units right and 5 units down.

Front

Identify the transformation: (x-2, y+9)

Back

This represents a translation of 2 units left and 9 units up.

Front

What does it mean for two shapes to be congruent after a translation?

Back

It means that the shapes have the same size and shape, but are in different positions.

What is the difference between translation and rotation?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between translation and reflection?

Back

Translation slides a shape, while reflection flips a shape over a line.

Front

What is the transformation from the red shape to the orange shape if it moves 5 units left and 1 unit up?

Back

This is a translation of 5 units left and 1 unit up.

Front

What transformation is visible if a shape is moved without changing its size or orientation?
