AXIOMS OF TRANSLATION
1. Axiom T1: Every point has a unique image under translation.
If vector v = (3, 2), then
•Point A(1,1) moves to A′(4,3).
•Point B(2,3) moves to B′(5,5).
Each point has one unique image.

1. Axiom T2: Translation preserves distance between points.


If segment AB= 5 units then after translation, new segment A’B’= 5
units too.
3. Axiom T3: Translation preserves angles.
If triangle ABC has ∠A = 60°, then the translated
triangle A'B'C' also has ∠A' = 60°.

4. Axiom T4: Translation is reversible.


If you translate by vector v = (3, 2),
then translating again by –v = (–3, –2) will return
the figure to its original position.
Theorem of Translation
Theorem: Image of figure under translation is
congruent to original.
Proof Outline:
1. Translation preserves distance (T2) → sides equal
2. Translation preserves angles (T3) → angles equal
3. Therefore, figure ≅ translated figure
