Translations

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

A translation is a type of transformation that moves every point of a shape or object a certain distance in a specified direction.

Front

What is the translation rule for moving a point (x, y) 3 units up and 2 units right?

Back

(x, y) --> (x + 2, y + 3)

Front

If point A (2, 3) is translated 4 units left and 5 units down, what are the new coordinates?

Back

(-2, -2)

Front

What does it mean for a transformation to be a rigid motion?

Back

A rigid motion is a transformation that preserves the size and shape of a figure.

Front

How do you translate a point 3 units to the left and 9 units down?

Back

(x, y) --> (x - 3, y - 9)

Front

What are the coordinates of point B (1, 2) after translating it 5 units right and 2 units up?

Back

(6, 4)

Front

What is the effect of translating a shape on its orientation?

Back

The orientation of the shape remains unchanged after a translation.

Front

If point C (0, 0) is translated 7 units to the right, what are the new coordinates?

Back

(7, 0)

Front

What is the translation rule for moving a point (x, y) 5 units down and 2 units left?

Back

(x, y) --> (x - 2, y - 5)

Front

How do you find the image of a point after translation?

Back

Apply the translation rule to the original coordinates of the point.
