Math Problem Statement
Solution
To determine the translation vector between the preimage and the image:
-
Identify corresponding points in the preimage and image. For example, point in the preimage corresponds to point in the image.
-
Measure the horizontal (x-direction) and vertical (y-direction) changes between these corresponding points.
For to :
- Horizontal change (x): From in the preimage to in the image. The x-coordinate shifts by .
- Vertical change (y): From in the preimage to in the image. The y-coordinate shifts by .
Thus, the translation vector is .

- What effect does a translation have on the orientation and size of a figure?
- Can you describe how translations differ from other transformations, such as rotations or reflections?
- What are real-world applications of translation vectors in mapping or graphic design?
- How would you graphically demonstrate a translation vector on a grid?
Tip: Always double-check your calculations for the translation vector by using at least two corresponding points for accuracy.
