Front

Back

Congruent

Front

The original figure prior to a transformation is called the _______

Back

Pre-image

Front

Which rule would result in a translation of 2 units left and 3 units up? (x, y) → ?

Back

(x, y) → (x - 2, y + 3)

Front

What is the effect of a translation on a geometric figure?

Back

A translation moves every point of a figure the same distance in the same direction.

Front

If a point A(3, 4) is translated 2 units left and 3 units up, what are the coordinates of the new point A'?

Back

A'(1, 7)

Front

What is the difference between a translation and a rotation?

Back

A translation slides a figure without changing its shape or orientation, while a rotation turns a figure around a fixed point.

Front

In a translation, the distance moved is measured in _______.

Back

Units (e.g., units on a graph)

Front

What is the image of a figure after a translation called?

Back

Image

Front

If a figure is translated 5 units right and 2 units down, what is the translation rule?

Back

(x, y) → (x + 5, y - 2)

Front

What does it mean for a translation to be congruent?

Back

It means the original figure and the translated figure are identical in shape and size.
