Translating Geometric Figures with Vectors and Rays

This video tutorial explains how to perform translations on a flat surface using a line or vector. It covers the basic concepts of translation, including direction and length, and provides a step-by-step guide to translating a quadrilateral. The tutorial also demonstrates how to translate multiple figures and handle complex translations using multiple vectors. The video aims to make the process straightforward and easy to understand.

What is the primary action described in a translation on a flat surface?

• Reflecting the figure

• Sliding the figure

• Rotating the figure

• Enlarging the figure
