Translating Points on the Coordinate Plane

This tutorial explains how to translate a polygon on a coordinate plane, focusing on moving triangle ABC. It covers translating using both a coordinate plane and ordered pairs, ensuring the new shape is congruent to the original. The tutorial provides methods for verifying translations and offers an alternative approach using jumps.

What is another term for translating an object on the coordinate plane?

• Rotating

• Scaling

• Reflecting

• Sliding

In which directions can an object be moved when translating on the coordinate plane?

• Both left/right and up/down

• Up or down

• Left or right

• Diagonally

How many units is triangle ABC translated in the x direction in the example?

• 4 units

• 12 units

• 9 units

• 6 units

What is the movement in the y direction for translating triangle ABC in the example?

• Negative 9 units

• Positive 9 units

• Positive 4 units

• Negative 4 units

What should you do if you only have the ordered pairs of the points and no coordinate plane?

• Add the translation value to the x-values and subtract from the y-values

• Divide the translation value by the x-values and y-values

• Subtract the translation value from the x-values and add to the y-values

• Multiply the translation value with the x-values and y-values

What is the first step in translating points without a coordinate plane?

• Subtract the translation value from the x-values

• Divide the translation value by the x-values

• Add the translation value to the x-values

• Multiply the translation value with the x-values

How can you verify if the translation was done correctly?

• By rotating the shape

• By ensuring the new shape is congruent to the original

• By checking if the new shape is larger

• By reflecting the shape

What should you do if the new shape is not congruent to the original after translation?

• Rotate the shape

• Check if one or more points are plotted incorrectly

• Scale the shape

• Reflect the shape

What is an alternative method to translate points on the coordinate plane?

• Scaling the points

• Making jumps in the given directions

• Rotating the points

• Reflecting the points

What is the final step after translating all points using the alternative method?

• Reflect the shape

• Rotate the shape

• Connect the vertices to form the new shape

• Scale the shape
