What's on the worksheet

  1. Find the translation vector from one point's image and fill in the blanks.
  2. Read a quadrilateral from the grid and translate it by the vector from A to A'.
  3. Decide whether each rule is a translation and write its vector.
    (x, y) \mapsto (x - 4,\ y)(x, y) \mapsto (y,\ x)(x, y) \mapsto (x + 2,\ 7 + y - 9)(x, y) \mapsto (x + 3,\ -y)(x, y) \mapsto (x + y,\ y + 1)
  4. Find where Hannah's beetle is after frames of animation.
  5. Find a translation that puts one vertex on the y-axis and another on the x-axis.
  6. Find the mistake in Samir's translated line and write the correct equation.
  7. Explain why no translation swaps the two ends of a segment, as Leah claims.
