Identifying Translations

What does a translation do to a figure on the coordinate plane?

• Rotates it

• Flips it

• Shrinks it

• Slides it

A type of transformation where a geometric figure slides horizontally, vertically, or both.

• dilation

• translation

• rotation

• reflection

A shape is translated 3 units to the left. What is true about the pre-image figure and the prime image figure?

• The pre-image and the prime image will create similar figures.

• The pre-image will be slightly larger than the prime image.

• The pre-image and the prime image will create congruent figures.

• The pre-image will be slightly smaller than the prime image.
