Exploring Translations and Reflections in Mathematics

What is the primary action involved in a translation?

• Scaling the figure

• Flipping the figure

• Sliding the figure

• Rotating the figure

If a figure is translated 5 units to the right and 1 unit up, which direction is it moving?

• Left and down

• Right and up

• Left and up

• Right and down

How many units up does the figure move in the second example?

• Two units

• One unit

• Four units

• Three units

In the third example, how many units down does the figure move?

• Three units

• Two units

• Four units

• One unit

What is the rule for translating from pre-image to prime image for the letter 'z'?

• Two units left and one unit up

• One unit right and two units down

• One unit left and two units up

• Two units right and one unit down

What axis is used for reflection in the first reflection example?

• y-axis

• w-axis

• x-axis

• z-axis

In the reflection across the x-axis, what happens to the point 'w'?

• It moves up

• It moves down

• It stays in the same place

• It moves left

What is the correct reflection of point 'z' across the y-axis?

• Two units to the right

• Two units to the left

• One unit to the right

• One unit to the left

What is wrong with the reflection in the example where the figure is reflected across the y-axis instead of the x-axis?

• The figure is scaled instead of reflected

• The figure is rotated instead of reflected

• The figure is reflected across the wrong axis

• The figure is not reflected at all

In the final example, what is the correct reflection of point 'r' across the x-axis?

• One unit up

• Two units down

• One unit down

• Two units up
