Translation Practice

What is the result of translating the point (0, 0) 5 units right and 5 units up?

• (5, 5)

• (0, 5)

• (5, 0)

• (10, 10)

What are congruent geometric figures?

• Congruent geometric figures have the same size and same shape.

• Congruent geometric figures have different sizes but the same shape.

• Congruent geometric figures are always circles.

• Congruent geometric figures can be of any size and shape.

If a triangle is translated 5 units left and 2 units down, what is the new position of the point (4, 6)?

• (-1, 4)

• (1, 8)

• (4, 4)

• (-1, 8)

What is the difference between a translation and a rotation?

• A translation slides a figure, while a rotation turns it around a point.

• A translation rotates a figure, while a rotation slides it along a line.

• A translation changes the size of a figure, while a rotation changes its color.

• A translation flips a figure over a line, while a rotation moves it to a different location.

What is the importance of understanding translations in geometry?

• Understanding translations helps in visualizing and solving problems related to the movement of shapes in the coordinate plane.

• Translations are only important for basic shapes and not for complex figures.

• Understanding translations is irrelevant to geometry and has no practical applications.

• Translations are primarily used in algebra, not in geometry.

What is the translation rule for moving a point (x, y) 3 units left?

• (x, y) --> (x - 3, y)

• (x, y) --> (x + 3, y)

• (x, y) --> (x, y - 3)

• (x, y) --> (x - 3, y + 3)

How do you describe a translation in geometry?

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

• A translation is a rotation that changes the size of a figure.

• A translation is a reflection that flips a figure over a line.

• A translation is a dilation that enlarges or reduces a figure.

What is the coordinate of a point after translating (1, 2) 1 unit left and 1 unit up?

• (0, 3)

• (1, 3)

• (0, 2)

• (2, 2)

What happens to the point (-9, 3) when it is translated 4 units down and 3 units right?

• (-6, -1)

• (-6, 1)

• (-12, 3)

• (-9, -1)

If a rectangle is translated 2 units right and 3 units down, what happens to its dimensions?

• The dimensions remain the same; only the position changes.

• The dimensions increase by 2 units in width and 3 units in height.

• The dimensions decrease by 2 units in width and 3 units in height.

• The dimensions change to a square shape.
