Translations

  • A translation is a transformation that slides a figure along a straight line.

  • To translate a figure in a coordinate plane, add or subtract the given number of units to the preimage coordinates.

  • Positive values translate a figure up or to the right.

  • Negative values translate a figure down or to the left.

4

Translate the fiugre 2 units up and 1 unit to the left.

See the translation in the image to the right.
