Back

x-coordinate

Front

What does a translation do to an image?

Back

Slides it

Front

What is a transformation in which a graph or geometric figure is picked up and moved to another location without any change in size or orientation?

Back

Translation

Front

Front

If a shape is translated 3 units left and 2 units up, what are the changes to its coordinates?

Back

(x-3, y+2)

Front

What is the effect of translating a shape 5 units down on its y-coordinate?

Back

y-coordinate decreases by 5

Front

If the coordinates of a point are (4, 3) and it is translated 2 units right and 1 unit down, what are the new coordinates?

Back

(6, 2)

Front

What is the difference between translation and rotation?

Back

Translation slides the shape without changing its orientation, while rotation turns the shape around a point.

Front

In a translation, how does the size of the shape change?

Back

The size remains the same.
