To describe a translation we need to specify how far and in which direction the image is from the object. To do that we use a translation vector. The translation vector is an ordered pair of numbers, (x,y) where x is how far in the x-direction and y how far in the y - direction the image is from the object.
Click the "On/Off" button on the applet to start it.
Try to fill in the table below. After the first few rows you should be able to do it without using the applet.
| Vector | Object | Image |
| (5,10) | (2,4) | . |
| (5,-5) | (-3,6) | (...,.. ) |
| (2,4) | (5,-5) | . |
| (-7,-2) | (4,3) | . |
| (6.5, 2.5) | (-6.5,-2.5) | . |
| (5, 5) | (5, 5) | . |
