TRANSLATION

Translation is a type of transformation that moves a shape in a horizontal direction (left and right) and/or in a vertical direction (up and down)

Multiple Choice

• 2 Right

  3 Down

• 6 Right

  6 Down

• 6 Left

  3 Up

• 2 Left

  3 Down

Multiple Choice

Which translation will move the green shape to the blue shape?

• 3 Right

  3 Down

• 3 Right

  3 up

• 3 Left

  3 Up

• 4 Left

  3 Down

Multiple Choice

Select the picture which shows a translation:

4 squares right and 5 squares down

Translation in Coordinate plane:
The quadrilateral is translated 5 units Right and 1 unit Up during the translation. The resulting new translated function for the given figure is:
(x, y) → (x+5, y+1)

(-3, 4) → (2,5)

(-1, 2) → (4,3)

(-4, 1) → (1,2)

(-4, 3) → (1,4)

Translation Rules

• When the shape is moved towards the left by k units, then replace x with x - k.

• When the shape is moved towards the right by k units, then replace x with x + k.

• When the shape is moved up by k units, then replace y with y + k.

• When the shape is moved down by k units, then replace y with y - k.
