Translations-wms

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

A translation is a type of transformation that moves every point of a shape the same distance in a specified direction.

Front

How do you translate a point (x, y) 5 units to the right?

Back

You add 5 to the x-coordinate: (x + 5, y).

Front

What does it mean to translate a shape 3 units up?

Back

It means to move every point of the shape 3 units higher on the y-axis: (x, y + 3).

Front

If point A is at (2, 3), where is point A' if translated 4 units left and 1 unit down?

Back

Point A' would be at (-2, 2).

Front

What is the result of translating a shape 0 units?

Back

The shape remains in the same position; it does not move.

Front

What does a translation do to the size of a shape?

Back

A translation does not change the size or shape of the figure; it only changes its position.

Front

If triangle ABC is translated to triangle A'B'C', what can we say about their corresponding angles?

Back

The corresponding angles of triangle ABC and triangle A'B'C' are equal.

Front

What is the effect of translating a shape 5 units down?

Back

Every point of the shape moves down 5 units on the y-axis.

Front

How do you represent a translation of a point algebraically?

Back

A translation can be represented as (x + a, y + b), where a and b are the distances moved in the x and y directions.

Front

What happens to the coordinates of a point when it is translated 2 units to the left and 3 units up?

Back

The new coordinates will be (x - 2, y + 3).
