Question

translations on the coordinate plane
translations

• a translation moves every point of a figure the same __________ and the same __________.
• a translation can move a figure __________ and __________.
• translations are also thought of as ____________.

Explanation:

• Translations are defined as moving all points of a figure the same distance and direction without altering the figure's shape or size.
• On a coordinate plane, translations are executed by shifting figures either horizontally (along the x-axis) and/or vertically (along the y-axis).
• Since translations preserve the figure's side lengths, angles, and overall size, they are classified as rigid transformations (isometries).

Answer:

1. distance; direction
2. horizontally; vertically
3. rigid transformations
