How to translate a rectangle by shifting or sliding the figure

The video tutorial explains how to apply a translation vector to a set of coordinates. It begins with an introduction to translation vectors, followed by a detailed step-by-step process of applying the vector to transform the coordinates. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding the transformation vector and labeling points correctly. It concludes with graphing the original and transformed images, highlighting the changes made by the transformation.

What does a translation vector of (2, 3) do to a point on a graph?

• Moves it 3 units left and 2 units down

• Moves it 3 units right and 2 units up

• Moves it 2 units right and 3 units up

• Moves it 2 units left and 3 units down

When applying a translation vector, what operation is performed on the original coordinates?

• Add the vector to the coordinates

• Subtract the vector from the coordinates

• Multiply the vector with the coordinates

• Divide the vector by the coordinates

What is the new position of point Q after applying the translation vector (2, 3) if its original position was (-8, 4)?

• (-10, 7)

• (-10, 1)

• (-6, 7)

• (-6, 1)

Why is it important to label points when performing transformations?

• To ensure the points are not lost

• To avoid errors in calculations

• To differentiate between original and transformed points

• To make the graph look neat

What shape is formed by the original points Q, R, S, and T before transformation?

• Triangle

• Circle

• Rectangle

• Square
