Instructions
- Use the sliders to translate the shape left/right/up/down. [br]- Explore various examples to answer the questions below.
1. Horizontal Translation
What happens to the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle after a horizontal translation?
2. Generalize your hypothesis into rules that will illustrate the changes in the coordinates.
A horizontal translation [b]a[/b] units to the [b]right[/b][br](x, y) [math]\longrightarrow[/math]
3. Generalize your hypothesis into rules that will illustrate the changes in the coordinates.
A horizontal translation [b]a[/b] units to the [b]left[/b][br](x, y) [math]\longrightarrow[/math]
4. Vertical Translation
What happens to the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle after a vertical translation?
5. Generalize your hypothesis into rules that will illustrate the changes in the coordinates.
A vertical translation [b]a[/b] units [b]up[/b].[br](x, y) [math]\longrightarrow[/math]
