Transformations (Translation)
Translation
In this section, students will be able to describe the effect of translations on two dimensional figures using coordinates.
Note: The brown triangle is our pre-image/the original image meaning we are starting with that image. The red triangle is our new image after the transformation (in this case translation) has been performed. We denote our new image using prime notation (single quotation mark, ex. A').
Before answering any questions, play around with the translation sliders. Blue slider translates the figure vertically and the red slider translates the figure horizontally. Pay attention to coordinate changes while interacting with the sliders below.
