Translations

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

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

What is the rule for translating a point (x, y) 2 units to the right and 6 units down?

Back

(x + 2, y - 6)

If point A is at (1, 2) and is translated 3 units to the right and 4 units down, where is point A'?

Back

(4, -2)

How do you express a translation that moves a point 5 units left and 3 units up?

Back

(x - 5, y + 3)

What is the effect of translating a triangle 0 units horizontally and 4 units vertically?

Back

The triangle moves straight up by 4 units.

Front

If triangle A'B'C' is translated to triangle ABC, what does this imply about their positions?

Back

They are congruent figures in different locations.

Front

What happens to the coordinates of a point when it is translated 6 units down?

Back

The y-coordinate decreases by 6.
