Translation

What is Translation in Geometry?

Back

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

Front

What is the algebraic notation for a translation that moves a point 5 units left and 4 units up?

Back

(x, y) --> (x - 5, y + 4)

Front

How do you translate a figure 8 units left and 2 units up in algebraic notation?

Back

(x, y) --> (x - 8, y + 2)

Front

Write the algebraic rule for translating a point 2 units right and 1 unit down.

Back

(x, y) --> (x + 2, y - 1)

Front

What is the algebraic notation for a translation of 6 units right and 5 units up?

Back

(x, y) --> (x + 6, y + 5)

Front

How do you express a translation of 2 units right and 5 units up in algebraic notation?

Back

(x, y) --> (x + 2, y + 5)

Front

What does the notation (x, y) --> (x + a, y + b) represent?

Back

It represents a translation of a point (x, y) by 'a' units in the x-direction and 'b' units in the y-direction.

Front

If a point is translated 3 units left and 4 units down, what is the algebraic notation?

Back

(x, y) --> (x - 3, y - 4)

Front

What is the effect of translating a figure 0 units in the x-direction and 0 units in the y-direction?

Back

The figure remains unchanged.

Front

How do you translate a point 10 units up and 5 units left?

Back

(x, y) --> (x - 5, y + 10)
