Subtopic 9.
2 Translation
1. Find the image of Q(4, 7) after a translation along (1, 3).
2. The vector that translates C(-3.8, 7.5) to C’(2.1, −4.3) is 〈____, ____〉.
3. The image of A(−2, −3) under a translation is A’(7,4). Find the image of B(3, −1) under the
same translation.
A. B′(12,6)
B. B′(9,7)
C. B′(6,12)
D. B′(12,7)
4. Determine whether a translation maps ∆ JKL onto ∆ J′K′L′. If so, find the translation vector. If
not, explain why.
A. yes; < 5,3 >
B. yes; < 3,5 >
C. yes; < 5,2 >
D. No; the triangles are not congruent

9. Ahmed plotted the location of a reclining chair and an end table on a coordinate plane. The end
table is represented by the circle, and the chair is represented by the square with solid sides.
The image of the chair along a translation is represented by the square with dashed sides.
i. Describe this translation of the chair.
ii. In the same grid above, sketch the image of the end table under the same translation that
you described in part a.
