8-5    Translations



Tell what happens to the figure if the following occur.

1.    4 is added to the x-coordinates.        ______________________________________________

2.    -2 is added to the x-coordiantes        ______________________________________________

3.    7 is added to the y-coordinates         ______________________________________________

4.    -1 is added to the y-coordinates        ______________________________________________

5.    3 is added to both the x and y-coordiantes        ___________________________________________

6.    2 is added to the x-coordiantes and -4 is added to the y-coordiantes ___________________________

7.    -1 is added to both the x and y-coordinates     __________________________________________
 

8.    Let A = (2, -4).  If A is slid 4 units to the right, where would the new point be located?   __________

9.    Let B = (-3, 0).  If B is slid 2 units to the left and 4 units up, where would the new point be located?  _______

10.    Let C = (5, 1).  If C is slid 3 units up and 5 units to the left, where would the new point be located?  _______

11.    Let D = (0, -8).  If D is slid 8 units to the left and 8 units up, where would the new point be located?  ______
 

12.    Triangle C'W'H' is the slide image of triangle CWH.   What are the coordiantes of C' and H' if
         C = (4, 5)    W = (6, 6)        H = (5, 3)        W' = (10, 0)?

        C' = _________

        H' = _________
 

13.    C had been slid 2 units up and 8 units to the left to become C'.  If C' = (4, -2), what was
         C as an ordered pair?
