A translation is when you move in a direction but the shape doesn't turn or change.
You translate an image by moving a shape in any direction without turning it for example: *draw a shape* then move it to anywhere but don't turn the shape.
An easy way of finding the new coordinates is just by looking to which respect it's too. For example when you do a respect to the y axis you keep the second number in the coordinate pair and change the first number's sign in the coordinate pair same to the x axis.
It depends on their sign. Change in x-coordinate. Change in y-coordinate. Right. Increases. No Change. Left. Decreases. No Change. Up. No Change. Increases. Down. No Change. Decreases .
We use vectors to represent a translation. Which means we need direction (up, down, left, or right) and magnitude (length of units).
