Translations

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 on a coordinate plane?

Back

To translate a point, you add the translation values to the x and y coordinates of the point.

Front

If point T is at (2, 3) and is translated 3 units to the right and 2 units up, where is T' located?

Back

T' is located at (5, 5).

Front

What does it mean for shapes to be congruent after a translation?

Back

Congruent shapes have the same size and shape, meaning they are identical in form after translation.

Front

When translating a shape 4 units down, which coordinate is affected?

Back

The y-coordinate is affected.

Front

What happens to the x-coordinate when translating a shape 5 units to the left?

Back

The x-coordinate decreases by 5.

Front

If trapezoid ABCD is translated 8 units down and 5 units to the right, what happens to each vertex?

Back

Each vertex of trapezoid ABCD moves 8 units down and 5 units to the right.

Front

What is the effect of translating a shape 0 units in the x-direction?

Back

The shape remains unchanged in the x-direction.

Front

If a point at (1, 2) is translated 2 units left and 3 units down, what are the new coordinates?

Back

The new coordinates are (-1, -1).

Front

What is the relationship between the original shape and the translated shape?

Back

The original shape and the translated shape are congruent.
