1. Translations
Sign In
Translations are done by adding or subtracting values from the x-coordinate if the figure is being moved left or right, and from the y-coordinate if the figure is being moved up or down.
A'(- 5,3), B'(- 3,4), C'(2,2), D'(0,- 2)
Let's start by plotting the given points and connecting them to draw our quadrilateral.
Translations are done by adding or subtracting values from the x-coordinate if the figure is being moved left or right, and from the y-coordinate if the figure is being moved up or down. We want to draw the image of our figure after a translation 4 units up. Therefore, we will add 4 to the y-coordinate of each vertex.
Vertices of ABCD | (x,y+4) | Vertices of A'B'C'D' |
---|---|---|
A(- 5,- 1) | (- 5,- 1 + 4) | A'(- 5,3) |
B(- 3,0) | (- 3,0 + 4) | B'(- 3,4) |
C(2,- 2) | (2,- 2 + 4) | C'(2,2) |
D(0,- 6) | (0,- 6 + 4) | D'(0,- 2) |
