translations

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

A transformation that moves a graph or geometric figure to another location without changing its size or orientation.

Front

If point X is at (1, 2), where is X' after translating 3 units to the left and 9 units down?

Back

X' is at (-2, -7).

Front

How do you translate point P located at (3, 5) to P'?

Back

Translate 2 units to the right and 8 units down to get P' at (5, -3).

Front

What effect does a translation have on a figure on the coordinate plane?

Back

It slides the figure to a new location without altering its shape or size.

Front

How is trapezoid ABCD translated to trapezoid A'B'C'D'?

Back

Translated 5 units to the right and 8 units down.

Front

What are the coordinates of a point after translating (4, 3) 2 units left and 1 unit up?

Back

The new coordinates are (2, 4).

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

If a triangle is translated 4 units to the left, what happens to its coordinates?

Back

Each x-coordinate decreases by 4.

Front

What is the rule for translating a point (x, y) 5 units up?

Back

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

Front

How do you express a translation of 3 units to the right and 2 units down?

Back

The translation can be expressed as (x + 3, y - 2).
