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

In this tutorial, learn how to use the graph of the original figure to perform a translation on the coordinate plane. [3:37]

Watch this tutorial to see how to use the graph of the original figure to perform each translation in order to get the graph of the new figure. [3:44]

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.

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.
