Exploring Translations in Geometry

The video tutorial demonstrates how to perform a translation of triangle W I N using a translate tool. The translation involves moving the triangle six units in the positive X direction and three units in the negative Y direction. The instructor explains the process step-by-step, focusing on how each point of the triangle shifts accordingly. The tutorial concludes with an analysis of the new coordinates of the triangle's points after the translation.
