Quick Start on Translation
Tasks:
1. Plot the following points in the x,y coordinate grid: A(2,0); B(4,0) and C(2,-3);
2. Connect the points with a line segment and then name the figure formed;
3. Transform the figure you obtained in #2 by moving the points 5 units to the left and 1 unit down;
4. Name the new points with their coordinates as D, E and F respectively.
Based on the graph:
1. What quadrant did the new figure move into?
Explain your answer:
2. Is the new figure similar? or congruent? to the original figure? How can you tell?
