Translations on a Coordinate Plane

Front

What does the orientation of the vertices refer to?

Back

The order in which the vertices are labeled, either clockwise or counterclockwise.

Front

What are the coordinates for the point Z'?

Back

(8, 1)

Front

What is the algebraic notation for a translation of 9 units right and 3 units down?

Back

(x, y) --> (x + 9, y - 3)

Front

How is Quadrilateral EFGH translated to E'F'G'H'?

Back

6 down, 3 left

Front

What term describes the way a figure is turned around a fixed point?

Back

Rotation

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

A transformation that moves every point of a figure the same distance in the same direction.

Front

If a point A(2, 3) is translated 4 units left and 2 units up, what are the new coordinates?

Back

A'(-2, 5)

Front

What is the effect of translating a figure 0 units in the x-direction?

Back

The figure remains unchanged in the x-coordinate.

Front

What is the difference between translation and rotation?

Back

Translation moves a figure without changing its orientation, while rotation turns a figure around a point.

Front

How do you represent a translation of a point (x, y) 5 units down?

Back

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