Understanding Translations in Geometry

What is the primary action involved in a translation of a geometric figure?

• Rotating the figure

• Scaling the figure

• Moving the figure

• Flipping the figure

In problem 1, how many units is point T moved to the right?

• 5 units

• 2 units

• 4 units

• 3 units

In problem 2, how many units is point Y moved up?

• 4 units

• 1 unit

• 3 units

• 2 units

In problem 3, in which direction are the points moved?

• Right

• Up

• Down

• Left

In problem 4, how many units are the points moved to the right?

• 2 units

• 5 units

• 4 units

• 3 units

What is the alternative method introduced in problem 5 for performing translations?

• Using a protractor

• Using a compass

• Using a ruler

• Adjusting coordinates

In problem 5, what is the new x-coordinate of point I after translation?

• 0

• 3

• 2

• 1

In problem 6, how many units is point J moved up?

• 1 unit

• 3 units

• 2 units

• 4 units

In problem 6, what is the relationship between point E and J after translation?

• E is 2 units up from J

• E is 1 unit down from J

• E is 3 units to the right of J

• E is 1 unit to the left of J

What is the final step in solving a translation problem?

• Connecting the points

• Rotating the figure

• Flipping the figure

• Scaling the figure
