What do we call the original shape before a translation?

Back

Pre-Image

Front

If a point (x, y) is translated 3 units to the left and 2 units up, what is the new point?

Back

(x-3, y+2)

Front

How do you represent a translation of 5 units to the right and 3 units down?

Back

(x+5, y-3)

Front

What is the effect of translating a shape 0 units in the x-direction?

Back

The shape remains unchanged in the horizontal position.

Front

If point A(2, 3) is translated 4 units to the right and 1 unit down, what are the coordinates of A'?

Back

A'(6, 2)

Front

What is the translation vector for moving a shape 7 units left and 4 units up?

Back

(-7, +4)

Front

How do you describe the translation of a shape that moves 10 units down?

Back

10 Down

Front

What is the relationship between the pre-image and image in a translation?

Back

The image is the result of the translation applied to the pre-image.
