Which of B, C and D is shape A slid along, without turning or flipping?
B. C has been turned and D has been flipped.
- Translation
- A slide. Every point moves the same distance in the same direction.
- Column vector
- Top number: right, or left if negative. Bottom number: up, or down if negative.
Which way does the shape move?
4−2
4 right, 2 down
Write as a vector: 3 left and 5 up.
−35
Which way does the shape move? −26
2 left, 6 up
Write as a column vector: 5 right and 1 down.
5−1
Write as a column vector: 4 down.
0−4
A shape moves 3 left and 2 down. Ben writes 3−2. What has he done wrong?
Left is negative: −3−2
A shape is translated by 3−2 and then by −56. What single translation does the same job?
−24
