Transformations-Translations

1. When I look at two figures on a coordinate plane, I now which one is the transformation because the transformation always has a comma above it.The new points are called translations.A word that I would use when describing a translation would be sliding.I would use sliding because when you identify a figure on a coordinate plane you might notice that the transformation is congruent to the original, its just moved across the coordinate plane.A translated figure will never change in size or shape because the figure was just moved across.You can translate a figure without a coordinate plane by subtracting the coordinates.
