Geometry: Translations Day 1 Practice

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

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

Front

How do you describe a translation using coordinates?

Back

A translation can be described using a vector, which indicates the direction and distance to move each point of the shape.

Front

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

Back

The new coordinates would be (-2, 2).

Front

Translate the shape at (2, 3) 5 units left and 3 units up. What are the new coordinates?

Back

The new coordinates are (-3, 6).

Front

What does the vector (5, -2) represent in a translation?

Back

It represents a translation of 5 units to the right and 2 units down.

Front

If a shape is translated 4 units up, what is the change in the y-coordinate?

Back

The y-coordinate increases by 4.

Front

Translate the shape at (1, 1) to (6, 4). What is the translation vector?

Back

The translation vector is (5, 3).

Front

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

Back

The shape will move vertically without any horizontal change.

Front

If a shape is translated 3 units left, what is the change in the x-coordinate?

Back

The x-coordinate decreases by 3.

Front

Translate the shape at (0, 0) 5 units right and 2 units down. What are the new coordinates?

Back

The new coordinates are (5, -2).
