Read each question carefully and follow the instructions to identify, perform, or describe translations on the coordinate plane. Show all your work.
1. Which of the following describes a translation?
Flipping a shape over a line.
Turning a shape around a point.
Sliding a shape from one position to another.
Resizing a shape.
2. A point is translated 3 units right and 2 units down. If the original point was (1, 4), what are the new coordinates?
(4, 6)
(-2, 2)
(4, 2)
(1, 2)
3. A translation is a transformation that moves every point of a figure or a space by the same in a given direction.
4. When a figure is translated, its and remain the same.
5. Describe the translation from point A (2, 3) to point B (5, 1).
6. Plot the triangle with vertices A(1,1), B(3,1), and C(2,4) on the coordinate plane below. Then, translate the triangle 4 units right and 3 units down. Label the translated vertices A', B', and C'.
7. A translation changes the orientation of a figure.
True
False
8. Translating a shape 5 units up and then 2 units left is the same as translating it 2 units left and then 5 units up.
True
False
