The original figure and its image must be of the same size and the same orientation. That is, you should be able to get from the original to the image by moving the shape along the x-axis and the y-axis and nothing else.

However, if the shape has rotational or reflective symmetry, there is no way that you can be sure that it has not been rotated or reflects (as appropriate).

The same figure. A translation simply moves the figure somewhere else, without changing its shape or size.

What is transformation where a figure is slid from one position to another without being turned. Also called a slide?

The transformation where a figure is slid from one position to another without being turned is called a translation. In a translation, every point of the figure moves the same distance and in the same direction. This type of transformation preserves the shape and size of the figure, maintaining its orientation throughout the movement.


How do you describe a translation?

A translation is the process of moving or shifting a figure (or an object) from one location to another without altering its shape, size, or orientation. This movement can be in any direction as long as the distance and direction are the same throughout the entire figure.


What is a translation of a figure?

In a translation the original figure is called what?

In a translation, the original figure is called the "preimage." The figure that results after the translation is referred to as the "image." A translation involves moving the preimage to a new location in the coordinate plane without changing its shape or size.

What is a figure that is not changed by a horizontal reflection or a translation?

No figure is changed by a translation so the last part of the question is irrelevant. Any figure with a horizontal line of symmetry will not be changed by a horizontal reflection.
