Translations Geometry Practice

What is a translation in the coordinate plane?

• Transformation

• Scaling

• Reflection

• Rotation

Which of the following is the correct coordinate notation for a translation?

• (x, y) -> (x + a, y + b)

• (x, y) -> (ax, by)

• (x, y) -> (-x, -y)

• (x, y) -> (x + 4, y + 1)

Translations preserve the shape and size of a figure.

• Sometimes

• Always

• Only for certain figures

• Never

What are the properties of translations?

• Translations preserve the shape and size of the figure.

• Translations only preserve the shape of the figure.

• Translations change the shape and size of the figure.

• Translations only preserve the size of the figure.

If a figure is translated 3 units to the right and 2 units up, what are the coordinates of the image if the original figure's coordinates are (2, 5)?

• (5, 7)

• (5, 5)

• (2, 7)

• (8, 7)

If a figure is translated 4 units to the left and 1 unit down, what are the coordinates of the image if the original figure's coordinates are (-3, 7)?

• (-7, 8)

• (-1, 6)

• (-7, 6)

• (-3, 6)

If a figure is translated 5 units to the left and 3 units down, what are the coordinates of the image if the original figure's coordinates are (0, 0)?

• (3, -5)

• (-5, -3)

• (5, -3)

• (-5, 3)

If a figure is translated 2 units to the right and 4 units up, what are the coordinates of the image if the original figure's coordinates are (-1, -2)?

• (-3, 6)

• (1, 2)

• (3, -6)

• (3, 6)

What is the rule for the translation?

• (x, y) -> (x - 5, y - 1)

• (x, y) -> (x - 5, y + 1)

• (x, y) -> (x + 5, y + 1)

• (x, y) -> (x - 5, y + 1)

What is the rule for the translation?

• T_<-8,-3>

• T_<8,-3>

• T_<-8,3>

• T_<8,3>
