Translations and Reflections on the Coordinate Plane

What does a translation on the coordinate plane involve?

• Flipping the object over an axis

• Changing the size of the object while keeping the position constant

• Moving the object to a new position without altering its size or orientation

• Rotating the object around a fixed point

When translating a point on the coordinate plane, which component changes?

• Y-coordinate only

• Both X and Y coordinates

• X-coordinate only

• Neither coordinate changes

What is the new position of point A (2, 3) after translating it 2 units to the right?

• (0, 3)

• (4, 3)

• (2, 5)

• (2, 3)

What is the effect of a translation on the orientation of an object?

• The orientation changes

• The orientation is reversed

• The object becomes inverted

• The orientation remains the same

What happens to a shape when it is reflected over the y-axis?

• It is scaled down

• It is rotated by 90 degrees

• It is translated to the right

• It is flipped to create a mirror image

After reflecting point B (3, 5) over the y-axis, what is the new coordinate?

• (-5, 3)

• (5, 3)

• (-3, 5)

• (3, -5)

What is the coordinate of point C after reflecting it over the y-axis if its original position was (6, 3)?

• (-3, 6)

• (-6, 3)

• (3, 6)

• (6, -3)

Which axis do we use for creating a mirror image in the reflection example provided?

• None of the above

• Z-axis

• Y-axis

• X-axis

If a triangle is reflected over the y-axis, how does the distance of each point from the y-axis change?

• It doubles

• It is halved

• It remains the same

• It becomes zero

What is the new location of point A after it is reflected over the y-axis from (2, 3)?

• (-2, 3)

• (2, -3)

• (2, 3)

• (-3, 2)
