Mastering Translations on the Coordinate Plane: A Step-by-Step
Identify the Starting Point: If you’re translating a single point, note its coordinates. For a shape, identify all the vertex coordinates. Apply the Vector: Add the vector’s x-coordinate to the x-coordinates of your points and the vector’s y-coordinate to the y-coordinates. Plot the Translated Point or Shape: Once the new coordinates are found, plot them […]
How to Understand Congruence through Rigid Motion Transformations
Translations: Shifts that move a shape without rotating or flipping it. Rotations: Spinning a shape around a fixed point. Reflections: Creating a mirror image by flipping a shape over a line. Linking Congruence with Rigid Motions:Shapes are congruent if one can be transformed into the other solely using rigid motions. Recognizing Congruent Figures:Search for shapes […]
