Translation Rules in Geometry

The video tutorial explains how to write a translation rule for mapping a quadrilateral onto its translated image. It begins by identifying the movement from one point to its prime on a graph, focusing on the x and y-axis movements. The tutorial then introduces different notations for expressing these movements and verifies the rule by applying it to other points on the quadrilateral.

What is the main objective of the translation rule discussed in the video?

• To rotate the quadrilateral

• To scale the quadrilateral

• To reflect the quadrilateral

• To map quadrilateral STUV onto S'T'U'V'

How does the translation from point S to S' occur?

• Move right and down

• Move left and down

• Move left and up

• Move right and up

What is the x-value change when moving from S to S'?

• Plus four

• Minus one

• Plus one

• Minus four

What is the y-value change when moving from S to S'?

• Plus four

• Plus one

• Minus one

• Minus four

Which notation represents the translation from S to S'?

• T(-4, -1)

• T(4, 1)

• T(-1, -4)

• T(1, 4)

What does the negative one in the translation notation indicate?

• Move down

• Move up

• Move left

• Move right

What does the negative four in the translation notation indicate?

• Move left

• Move down

• Move up

• Move right

How is the translation rule verified for point T?

• By moving left and up

• By moving right and down

• By moving left and down

• By moving right and up

What is the common translation rule for all vertices of the quadrilateral?

• Right one, up four

• Left one, down four

• Right one, down four

• Left one, up four

What is the final step in verifying the translation rule?

• Checking with point V

• Checking with point S

• Checking with point T

• Checking with point U
