Unit: Transformations Student Handout 2 TRANSLATIONS Name Answer Key Date TRANSLATIONS ON THE COORDINATE PLANE A translation moves every point of a figure the same the same distance A translation can move a figure and/or Translations are also thought of as and 1. Translate the figure 5 units left and 2 units down. Record the coordinates of the pre-image and image in the table. PRE-IMAGE IMAGE A'(-3J 2) Look for any patterns and describe what happened to the x and y values in each ordered pair: -Moving left 5 decreased all of the x-values by 5. -Moving down 2 decreased all of the y-values by 2. How can we represent this algebraically Q 2) 2. Translate the figure 4 units right and 3 units up. Record the coordinates of the pre-image and image in the table. PRE-IMAGE IMAGE Look for any patterns and describe what happened to the x and y values in each ordered pair: -Moving right 4 increased all of the x-values by 4. -Moving up 3 increased all of the y-values by 3.
