Virtual Nerd: How Do You Use a Graph to Translate a Figure Horizontally?

Watch this tutorial to see how to translate a figure on a coordinate plane. Specific examples are given to help learn this concept. [3:37]

Watch how you are able to reflect a figure over the x-axis. This video shows you how easy it is to use the graph of a figure to perform this reflection. [3:21]

Reflection is a type of transformation. Flipping an image over the y-axis is easy if you follow the steps in this video to perform the reflection. [3:42]

Transformations. Learn a little bit of geometry. See how to translate a geometric figure on a coordinate plane horizontally by sliding it over. Simply pick a point on the figure and count the units you want to move it. Then repeat that...

A reflection is just what you think it is, a mirror image. So how do you reflect a figure on a graph? Just flip it over. The teacher illustrates how to select a line of reflection (the x-axis) and make the calculations to flip the figure.

Using baseball as an example, watch how you can apply the Fundamental Counting Principle to count the number of different ways a coach can fill his infield. This video will show you how to make a drawing to better understand the problem....

This presentation is pretty straightforward in illustrating how to translate a figure on the coordinate plane. Watch the instructor follow the directions to translate the figure four units to the right and six units down.

Can you use a line graph to make predictions? Watch and see how this can be done! [3:37]

Transformations. Learn a little bit of geometry. See how to translate a geometric figure on a coordinate plane vertically by sliding it over. Simply pick a point on the figure and count the units you want to move it. Then repeat that for...
