12C Vectors in the Plane In transformation geometry, translating a point a units in the x-direction and b units in the y-direction can be achieved using the translation vector 𝑎 𝑏 . 2 5 would be a vector two units in the x-direction and five units in the y-direction.
12C Continued i and j are examples of unit vectors because they have length 1. i = 1 0 and is a translation 1 unit in the positive x-direction. j = 0 1 and is a translation 1 unit in the positive y-direction.
