Front

Define translation in the context of a coordinate plane.

Back

A translation moves every point of a figure the same distance in a specified direction.

Front

What is the effect of a positive value in the x-coordinate of a translation rule?

Back

It moves the figure to the right.

Front

What is the effect of a negative value in the y-coordinate of a translation rule?

Back

It moves the figure down.
