Translations Warmup 2

A translation ________ an object.

• Slides

• Turns

• Flips

Answer explanation

A translation in geometry refers to sliding an object from one position to another without changing its orientation. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Slides', as it accurately describes the movement involved in a translation.

Determine where T' would be if you translated T 3 units to the right and 6 units up.

• (5, 1)

• (2, -5)

• (-1, 1)

• (8, -2)

Answer explanation

To find T', start with the original point T (2, -5). Translating 3 units right adds 3 to the x-coordinate (2 + 3 = 5) and translating 6 units up adds 6 to the y-coordinate (-5 + 6 = 1). Thus, T' is at (5, 1).

Determine how to translate triangle A'B'C' to triangle ABC.

• (x+2, y-5)

• (x+2, y-9)

• (x-2, y-9)

Answer explanation

To translate triangle A'B'C' to triangle ABC, we need to move it 2 units right and 9 units down. The correct translation is (x+2, y-9), which matches the coordinates needed to align the triangles.

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

• Translated 5 units down and 5 units to the right

• Translated 5 units down and 1 to the right

• Translated 8 units down and 5 units to the right

• Translated 5 units down and 4 units to the right

Answer explanation

Trapezoid ABCD is translated 8 units down and 5 units to the right to reach trapezoid A'B'C'D'. This means each point of ABCD moves down by 8 and right by 5, confirming the correct choice.

How would you translate point P to P'?

• Translate 2 units to the right and  8 units down

• Translate 3 units down and 2 units to the right

• Translate 4 units down and 4 units to the left

• Translate 8 units to the right and 2 units down

Answer explanation

To translate point P to P', move 2 units to the right and 8 units down. This matches the correct choice, ensuring the new position is accurately represented.

Where would A' be if you translated A 3 units to the right and 4 units down?

• (-4, 4)

• (-1, 0)

• (0, -1)

Answer explanation

To find A' after translating A, add 3 to the x-coordinate and subtract 4 from the y-coordinate. If A is at (-4, 4), then A' = (-4 + 3, 4 - 4) = (-1, 0). Thus, the correct answer is (-1, 0).
