7.4 Translations and Vectors
Geometry
Translation
A translation is a transformation that maps all
points to new points so that the distance from
every old point to every new corresponding
point is equal.
Translation
Translation
Sketch a triangle with vertices A(-1, -3), B(1, -1),
and C(-1, 0). Then sketch the image of the
triangle after the translation…
(x, y)  (x – 3, y + 4)
TRANSLATION
Sketch a parallelogram with vertices R(-4,-1),
S(-2,0), T(-1,3), U(-3,2). Then sketch the image
of the parallelogram after translation…
(x,y)  (x + 4, y – 2)
Translation
Triangle ABC  Triangle A’B’C’ by a translation
defined by (x, y)  (x – 5, y). The coordinates of
the vertices of triangle ABC are A(7, 4), B(-1, -1),
and C(3, -5). What are the coordinates of the
vertices of triangle A’B’C’?
Vectors
A vector is a quantity that has both direction
and magnitude (size), and is represented by an
arrow drawn between two points.
Vector
• Initial Point – Starting Point
• Terminal Point – Ending Point
Naming a vector
Component Form
The component form of a vector combines the
horizontal and vertical components.
Let’s take a look at an example….
Identifying Vector Components
The initial point of a vector is V(-2, 3) and the
terminal point is W(-4, -7). Name the vector and
write its component parts.
Identifying Vector Components
The initial point of a vector is E(2, -6) and the
terminal point is F(2, -9). Name the vector and
write its component parts.
Translation Using Vectors
The component form of vector RS is <2,-3>.
Use vector RS to translate the quadrilateral
whose vertices are G(-3,5), H(0,3), J(1,3), and
K(3,-2).
Translation Using Vectors
The component form of vector MN is <3,1>.
Use vector MN to translate the triangle whose
vertices are R(0,4), S(3,1), and T(4,-2).
Translation Using Vectors
The component form of GH is <4, 2>. Use GH to
translate the triangle whose vertices are (3, -1),
B(1, 1), and C(3, 5).
Finding Vectors
In the diagram, ABC maps onto A’B’C’ by a
translation. Write the component form of the
vector that can be used to describe the
translation.
Finding Vectors

translation. Write the component form of the
vector that can be used to describe the
translation.
