WEDNESDAY MATH PREP WIND-DOWN: TRANSLATIONS

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What are the coordinates of a point after translating (2, 3) 4 units right and 2 units up?

Back

(6, 5)

Front

When translating a shape, which coordinate is affected when moving up or down?

Back

y-coordinate

Front

If a point (x, y) is translated 5 units left, what is the new coordinate?

Back

(x-5, y)

Front

What is the effect of translating a shape 3 units to the right?

Back

The x-coordinate of each point increases by 3.

Front

How do you represent a translation of 2 units down and 4 units left in coordinate form?

Back

(x-4, y-2)

Front

What happens to the point (1, 1) when it is translated 3 units right and 5 units up?

Back

(4, 6)

Front

If a triangle ABC is translated to A'B'C', what does this indicate?

Back

The triangle has been moved to a new position without changing its shape or size.

Front

What is the translation vector for moving a point 7 units right and 3 units down?

Back

(7, -3)

Front

How do you find the new coordinates of a point after translation?

Back

Add the translation values to the original coordinates.
