Translating Shapes on the Coordinate Plane

What does translating a figure on the coordinate plane mean?

• Sliding the figure around

• Resizing the figure

• Rotating the figure

• Reflecting the figure

What are the original coordinates of point A?

• (6, 2)

• (2, 6)

• (5, 2)

• (2, 2)

How do you translate a point in the x-direction?

• Subtract from the y-value

• Add to the x-value

• Add to the y-value

• Subtract from the x-value

After translating, what is the new x-coordinate of point B?

• -1

• 1

• -4

• 4

What is the result of translating the y-values by subtracting 9?

• No change in values

• All values become negative

• All values become positive

• All values are multiplied by 9

Which quadrant will the triangle be located in after the translation?

• Quadrant II

• Quadrant IV

• Quadrant I

• Quadrant III

What is the new location of point C?

• (-4, -7)

• (-1, -7)

• (-4, -3)

• (4, 3)

Why might you need to use mathematics to translate figures on the coordinate plane?

• When the figure is too small

• When the coordinates are off the plane

• When the coordinates are simple numbers

• When the figure is too large

What is the importance of applying changes in both the x and y directions?

• To reflect the figure

• To rotate the figure

• To accurately translate the figure

• To resize the figure

What does a negative movement in the x-direction indicate?

• Moving down

• Moving up

• Moving to the right

• Moving to the left
