When you translate a geometric figure vertically, in which directions might you be moving the figure
When translating a geometric figure vertically, you can move the figure in two possible directions: up or down.
When you translate a geometric figure vertically, you are moving the figure either upwards or downwards along the y-axis.
How would you describe the effect on the coordinates of the vertices of a figure that is translated down 4 units and to the right 3 units?(1 point)
When you translate a geometric figure vertically, you are changing its position on the vertical axis. In other words, you are moving the figure up or down.
To understand this concept visually, consider a square on a coordinate plane. Let's say the coordinates of the vertices of the square are: A(2,2), B(5,2), C(5,5), and D(2,5).
If you want to translate the square vertically, you can:
1. Move the figure up: Increase the y-coordinate of each vertex by the same amount. For example, if you want to move it up by 3 units, add 3 to each y-coordinate. The new coordinates would be: A(2,5), B(5,5), C(5,8), and D(2,8).
2. Move the figure down: Decrease the y-coordinate of each vertex by the same amount. For example, if you want to move it down by 2 units, subtract 2 from each y-coordinate. The new coordinates would be: A(2,0), B(5,0), C(5,3), and D(2,3).
Remember that the translation of a figure does not change its shape or size, but only its position in space.
