Read each question carefully and follow the instructions to translate the figures on the coordinate plane.

1. What is a translation in geometry? Describe it in your own words.

2. A translation is also known as a because it moves a figure without changing its size, shape, or orientation.

3. When you translate a figure to the right, you are adding to the -coordinates of its vertices.

4. When you translate a figure down, you are subtracting from the -coordinates of its vertices.

5. Plot the triangle with vertices A(1, 2), B(4, 2), and C(1, 5). Then, translate the triangle 3 units to the right and 2 units down. Label the new vertices A', B', and C'.

6. A square has vertices at (2, 3), (4, 3), (4, 5), and (2, 5). If the square is translated 1 unit left and 4 units up, what will be the new coordinates of one of its vertices?

(1, 7)

(3, -1)

(6, 2)

(0, 8)

7. A point is located at (-3, 0). What are the new coordinates if it is translated 5 units to the right and 1 unit up?

8. When a figure is translated, its orientation changes.
