Translations

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What does the transformation (x, y) --> (x, y + 4) indicate?

Back

It indicates a slide up 4 units.

Front

How do you translate a point (x, y) 2 units to the right and 5 units down?

Back

The new coordinates will be (x + 2, y - 5).

Front

If point B is at (2, 4) and is translated to B' at (4, -2), how was it translated?

Back

It was translated 2 units to the right and 6 units down.

Front

What are the new coordinates of point X if it is translated 3 units to the left and 9 units down from (1, 4)?

Back

The new coordinates will be (-2, -5).

Front

What does the transformation (x, y) --> (x - 3, y + 6) mean?

Back

It means to slide 3 units to the left and 6 units up.

Front

If triangle A'B'C' is translated to triangle ABC using (x + 2, y - 9), what does this transformation do?

Back

It moves the triangle 2 units to the right and 9 units down.

Front

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

Back

The shape will move 5 units up or down, depending on the direction.

Front

How do you find the new position of a point after translation?

Back

Add the translation values to the original coordinates.

Front

If point T is at (2, -5) and is translated 3 units to the right and 6 units up, what are the new coordinates?

Back

The new coordinates will be (5, 1).
