Notes on Translations

A translation is a shift or a slide of an object around the coordinate plane. The size & the shape of the object is not changed in anyway--only the location is changed!

We translate a shape by taking each of its coordinates and adjusting them by the rule.

So, for instance, Q(1, -1) becomes Q'(-2, 3) by following the rule (x-3, y+4).

Once each coordinate is translated, we can draw our new shape!
