Think of translating as 'sliding' a shape around. [br][br]It doesn't spin and it doesn't flip over like when its reflected.[br][br]You can translate this triangle by moving point E.[br][br]For example:[br][br]If you move point E to the right, you can see the triangle translating to the right.[br][br]If you move point E up, you can see the triangle translating upwards.[br][br]Experiment with translating this triangle around to new positions.

On the coordinate grid below, first move point E back to (0,0)[br][br]Now move point E 3 squares right and 3 squares up.

First move point E back to (0,0)[br][br]Now move point E 5 squares right and 2 squares down.

First move point E back to (0,0)[br][br]Now move point E 5 4 squares to the left and 3 squares down.
