Vectors: Translations & Column Vectors

Describe the translation between two points in compact column-vector notation (dx, dy)ᵀ, or apply a given column vector to translate a point (or a whole shape).

  1. 1.
    Point P is at (5, -2). Point P is translated to the image point P' at (3, 6). Write the translation in compact column-vector notation (dx, dy)ᵀ.
  2. 2.
    Point P is at (-2, -7). Point P is translated to the image point P' at (-10, -14). Write the translation in compact column-vector notation (dx, dy)ᵀ.
  3. 3.
    Point P is at (-7, 3). Point P is translated to the image point P' at (-5, -1). Write the translation in compact column-vector notation (dx, dy)ᵀ.
  4. 4.
    Point P is at (-2, -5). Point P is translated to the image point P' at (2, -2). Write the translation in compact column-vector notation (dx, dy)ᵀ.
  5. 5.
    Point P is at (6, 7). Point P is translated to the image point P' at (-1, -2). Write the translation in compact column-vector notation (dx, dy)ᵀ.
  6. 6.
    Point Q is at (8, -2). Q is translated by the vector (8, 3)ᵀ. Find the coordinates of the image point Q'.
  7. 7.
    Point Q is at (5, 0). Q is translated by the vector (-1, 2)ᵀ. Find the coordinates of the image point Q'.
  8. 8.
    Point Q is at (-1, -4). Q is translated by the vector (-5, 2)ᵀ. Find the coordinates of the image point Q'.
  9. 9.
    Point Q is at (4, -4). Q is translated by the vector (-1, 0)ᵀ. Find the coordinates of the image point Q'.
  10. 10.
    Point Q is at (7, -2). Q is translated by the vector (-2, 1)ᵀ. Find the coordinates of the image point Q'.
  11. 11.
    A shape has vertices A(1, -5) and B(6, 6). The whole shape is translated by the vector (0, 4)ᵀ. Find the coordinates of A' and B'.
  12. 12.
    A shape has vertices A(3, 2) and B(6, 5). The whole shape is translated by the vector (3, -2)ᵀ. Find the coordinates of A' and B'.
  13. 13.
    A shape has vertices A(1, -5) and B(5, 4). The whole shape is translated by the vector (1, -4)ᵀ. Find the coordinates of A' and B'.
  14. 14.
    A shape has vertices A(5, -4) and B(-2, 2). The whole shape is translated by the vector (-5, 1)ᵀ. Find the coordinates of A' and B'.
