Translations

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

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

Front

How do you translate a point (x, y) to the right by 3 units?

Back

(x + 3, y)

Front

How do you translate a point (x, y) down by 4 units?

Back

(x, y - 4)

Front

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

Back

The y-coordinates increase.

Front

What happens to the coordinates of a shape when it is translated down?

Back

The y-coordinates decrease.

Front

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

Back

The x-coordinates decrease.

Front

What happens to the coordinates of a shape when it is translated right?

Back

The x-coordinates increase.

Front

Are translations congruent transformations?

Back

Yes, translations are congruent transformations, meaning the shape and size remain the same.

Front

If triangle ABC is translated to triangle A'B'C', what can be said about their corresponding angles?

Back

The corresponding angles are equal.

Front

If triangle ABC is translated 2 units left and 3 units up, what is the new position of point A (x, y)?

Back

(x - 2, y + 3)
