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.
True
False
