Words When a figure is translated, the x-coordinate of the
preimage changes by the value of the horizontal
translation a. The y-coordinate of the preimage changes
by the vertical translation b.

1. Graph JKL with vertices J(โ3, 4), K(1, 3), and
L(โ4, 1). Then graph the image of JKL after a
translation 2 units right and 5 units down. Write
the coordinates of its vertices.
Move each vertex of the triangle 2 units right and 5 units
down. Use prime symbols for the vertices of the image.
From the graph, the coordinates of the vertices of
the image are J'(โ1, โ1), K'(3, โ2), and L'(โ2, โ4).

2. Triangle XYZ has vertices X(โ1, โ2), Y(6, โ3) and
Z(2, โ5). Find the vertices of X'Y'Z' after a
translation of 2 units left and 1 unit up.
Use a table. Add โ2 to the x-coordinates and 1 to
the y-coordinates.
So, the vertices of X'Y'Z' are X'(โ3, โ1), Y'(4, โ2),
and Z'(0, โ4).

3. A computer image is being translated to create the
illusion of movement. Use translation notation to
describe the translation from point A to point B.
Point A is located at (3, 3). Point B is located at (2, 1).
(x, y) (x + a, y + b)
(3, 3) (3 + a, 3 + b) (2, 1)
3 + a = 2 3 + b = 1
a = โ1 b = โ2
So, the translation is (x โ 1, y โ 2), 1 unit to the left and
2 units down.
