How to apply a transformation vector to translate a figure

The video tutorial explains how to apply a transformation vector to a polygon. It begins with plotting points and introduces the concept of a transformation vector. The instructor corrects an initial mistake in the vector and demonstrates how to apply the corrected vector to shift the polygon. The process involves replotting points and connecting them to form the transformed shape. The tutorial concludes with a recap of the transformation process.

What is the first step in preparing to apply a transformation vector to a shape?

• Identify the center of the shape

• Label the points on the graph

• Draw the transformation vector

• Calculate the area of the shape

What does the transformation vector (-4, -3) instruct you to do?

• Move right 4 units and up 3 units

• Move left 4 units and down 3 units

• Move left 3 units and down 4 units

• Move right 3 units and up 4 units

How do you apply a transformation vector to a point on a graph?

• Subtract the vector from the point's coordinates

• Add the vector to the point's coordinates

• Multiply the vector by the point's coordinates

• Divide the vector by the point's coordinates

What is the term used for points after they have been moved by a transformation vector?

• Vector points

• Shifted points

• Prime points

• Transformed points

What is the final step after applying the transformation vector to all points?

• Recalculate the transformation vector

• Erase the original points

• Connect the new points to form the shape

• Calculate the new area
