Transformations IReflection

A translation is a movement of a shape or point to a new position without altering its size or orientation. The process involves using a translation vector to determine how far to move each point, and the new positions are plotted accordingly. To describe a translation, one must state that it is a translation and specify the translation vector.

🌟 1. What is a Translation?

A translation is a type of transformation where a shape or point is slid


(moved) from one position to another without rotating or flipping it.

 The size and orientation stay the same.

 Only the position changes.

🚶‍♂️2. Performing a Translation

Step-by-Step Guide:

Step 1: Know the Translation Vector

A translation vector is written like this:

(ab)\begin{pmatrix} a \\ b \end{pmatrix}(ab)

Where:

 a = move left or right (→ if positive, ← if negative)

 b = move up or down (↑ if positive, ↓ if negative)

Step 2: Apply the Vector to Each Point

For each point P(x, y), apply the translation vector:

P′=(x+a, y+b)P' = (x + a, \; y + b)P′=(x+a,y+b)

Step 3: Plot the Translated Points

Draw the new position of the shape by plotting all translated points and
connecting them.

🔍 3. Finding the Translation Vector

If you know a point before and after translation:

Let:

 Original point: A(x₁, y₁)

 Translated point: A′(x₂, y₂)

Then the translation vector is:


(x2−x1y2−y1)\begin{pmatrix} x_2 - x_1 \\ y_2 - y_1 \end{pmatrix}(x2−x1y2
−y1)

Example:

If A(2, 3) is translated to A′(5, 7), the vector is:

(5−27−3)=(34)\begin{pmatrix} 5 - 2 \\ 7 - 3 \end{pmatrix} = \
begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix}(5−27−3)=(34)

4. Describing a Translation

When describing a translation in exams, state:

✅ It is a translation
✅ The translation vector

Example:

 “The triangle has been translated by the vector

(−25)\begin{pmatrix} -2 \\ 5 \end{pmatrix}(−25)

(2 units left, 5 units up).”

🎯 5. Examples

Example 1:
Translate P(1, 2) by

(4−1)\begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix}(4−1)

→ P′ = (1 + 4, 2 – 1) = (5, 1)

Example 2:
Find the translation vector if B(–2, 0) is mapped to B′(1, –3)
→ Vector:

(1−(–2)−3−0)=(3−3)\begin{pmatrix} 1 - (–2) \\ -3 - 0 \end{pmatrix} = \


begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ -3 \end{pmatrix}(1−(–2)−3−0)=(3−3)
