Transformations on the Coordinate Plane: Translations and Rotations
TranSLation of a geometric figure is a SLide of the figure in which all points move the same distance in the same direction.
Horizontal- left and right
Vertical- up and down
Translate the figure horizontally – 5 A B C B A C
Translate the figure 4 units vertically. AB C D B A C D
