Exploring Translations
Directions
Explore the applet and then answer the questions below the graph.
No translation
What are the ordered pairs for the vertices of the red triangle when horizontal = 0 and vertical = 0?
Horizontal translation
What are the ordered pairs of the red triangle when horizontal = 2 and vertical = 0?
Vertical translation
What are the ordered pairs of the red triangle when horizontal = 0 and vertical = -2?
Both translations
What are the ordered pairs of the red triangle when horizontal = 3 and vertical =-1?
Defining translations
How would you define what happens when we translate a shape in the coordinate plane?
