Transformations - 1. Translation

Transformations are used to change the position of a geometric figure in 2-dimensional space.[br]We will investigate 4 types of transformations today.[br]This applet models the simplest of the four types of transformations, TRANSLATION. [br][br]Use the black and red sliders to TRANSLATE the triangle and then create a definition for TRANSLATION below. Use math vocabulary and complete sentences. Be as thorough and detailed as possible.
Create a preliminary definition for TRANSLATION by describing how the triangle is moving. You will refine your definition in the next exercise.
