TRANSLATIONS

An easy way to find a translated point without a grid is this: Lets say you are translating point A located at (6,3) +3 in the x direction and -2 in the y-direction. Simply add 3 to the x value and subtract 2 from the y-value. The x location of 6 increses by 3 to make 9 and the y-value of 3 decreases by 2 to make 1. The new point is (9,1) Try this example: Translate point B located at (5,4) +8 in the x direction and -4 in the y-direction. x value -----> 5+8 = 13 y-value -----> 4 - 4 = 0 B'(13,0) |
