Lesson 9 2 Translations Translation transformation that moves

Lesson 9 -2 Translations • Translation- transformation that moves all the points in a figure the same distance in the same direction.

COORDINATE GEOMETRY Parallelogram TUVW has vertices T(– 1, 4), U(2, 5), V(4, 3), and W(1, 2). Graph TUVW and its image for the translation (x, y) (x – 4, y – 5). This translation moved every point of the preimage 4 units left and 5 units down. T(– 1, 4) U(2, 5) V(4, 3) W(1, 2) T' (– 1 – 4, 4 – 5) U' (2 – 4, 5 – 5) V' (4 – 4, 3 – 5) W' (1 – 4, 2 – 5) or or T' (– 5, – 1) U' (– 2, 0) V' (0, – 2) W' (– 3, – 3) Plot the translated vertices and connect to form parallelogram T'U'V'W'.

Answer:

COORDINATE GEOMETRY Parallelogram LMNP has vertices L(– 1, 2), M(1, 4), N(3, 2), and P(1, 0). Graph LMNP and its image for the translation (x, y) (x + 3, y – 4). Answer:

ANIMATION The graph shows repeated translations that result in the animation of a raindrop. Find the translation that moves raindrop 2 to raindrop 3 and then the translation that moves raindrop 3 to raindrop 4.

To find the translation from raindrop 2 to raindrop 3, use the coordinates at the top of each raindrop. Use the coordinates (1, 2) and (– 1, – 1) in the formula. Subtract 1 from each side. Subtract 2 from each side.

The translation is (x – 2, y – 3) from raindrop 2 to raindrop 3. Use the coordinates (– 1, – 1) and (– 1, – 4) to find the translation from raindrop 3 to raindrop 4. (x, y) (– 1, – 1) (– 1, – 4) Add 1 to each side.

The translation is Answer: from raindrop 3 to raindrop 4.

ANIMATION The graph shows repeated translations that result in the animation of a lightning bolt. Find the translation that moves lightning bolt 3 to lightning bolt 4 and then the translation that moves lightning bolt 2 to lightning bolt 1. Answer: (x – 3, y – 1); (x + 2, y + 2)

In the figure, lines p and q are parallel. Determine whether the pink figure is a translation image of the blue preimage, quadrilateral EFGH.

Reflect quadrilateral EFGH in line p. The result is the green image, quadrilateral E'F'G'H'. This is not a reflection of quadrilateral EFGH in line p, so quadrilateral E'F'G'H' is not a translation of quadrilateral EFGH. Answer: Quadrilateral E''F''G''H'' is not a translation image of quadrilateral EFGH.

In the figure, lines n and m are parallel. Determine whether A''B''C'' is a translation image of the preimage, ABC. Answer: Yes, A''B''C'' is the translation image of ABC.
