What is Translation in Geometry?

Back

Translation is a type of transformation that moves every point of a figure the same distance in a specified direction.

What is the Algebraic Notation for translating a point 7 units left and 4 units up?

Back

(x, y) --> (x - 7, y + 4)

Front

What is the Algebraic Notation for translating a point 8 units left and 2 units up?

Back

(x, y) --> (x - 8, y + 2)

Front

What is the Algebraic Notation for translating a point 6 units right and 5 units up?

Back

(x, y) --> (x + 6, y + 5)

Front

What does the notation (x, y) --> (x + a, y + b) represent?

Back

It represents a translation of a point (x, y) by 'a' units in the x-direction and 'b' units in the y-direction.

Front

If a point is translated 5 units down, what is the algebraic notation?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The figure remains unchanged in the x-direction.

Front

What is the Algebraic Notation for translating a point 4 units up and 3 units right?

Back

(x, y) --> (x + 3, y + 4)

Front

How do you represent a translation of a point (x, y) 10 units left?

Back

(x, y) --> (x - 10, y)

Front

What happens to the coordinates of a point when it is translated 2 units right?

Back

The x-coordinate increases by 2, while the y-coordinate remains the same.
