Geo - Unit 10.2B HW - Using Translation Rules

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

A translation in geometry is a transformation that moves every point of a shape or object a constant distance in a specified direction.

Front

If a point (x, y) is translated using the rule (x + a, y + b), what does 'a' represent?

Back

'a' represents the horizontal movement of the point, where positive values move the point to the right and negative values move it to the left.

Front

If a point (x, y) is translated using the rule (x + a, y + b), what does 'b' represent?

Back

'b' represents the vertical movement of the point, where positive values move the point up and negative values move it down.

Front

Translate the point (2, 3) using the rule (x + 4, y - 2). What is the new location?

Back

The new location is (6, 1).

Front

What happens to the point (5, 5) when translated 3 units left and 2 units down?

Back

The new location is (2, 3).

Front

If the point A is at (1, 1) and is translated 5 units right, where is point A?

Back

Point A is at (6, 1).

Front

What is the result of translating the point (0, 0) 4 units up?

Back

The new location is (0, 4).

Front

If a shape is translated 3 units left and 4 units up, what is the algebraic representation?

Back

The algebraic representation is (x - 3, y + 4).

Front

Translate the point (3, 2) using the rule (x - 1, y + 5). What is the new location?

Back

The new location is (2, 7).

Front

What is the effect of translating a point 0 units in any direction?

Back

The point remains in the same location.
