Przesunięcie punktu w układzie współrzędnych
Learning objectives
Finding the image of the point in translation along the axis of the coordinate system.
Finding the image of the figure in translation along the axis of the coordinate system.
Learning effect
You find the image of the point in translation along the axis of the coordinate system.
You find the image of the figure in translation along the axis of the coordinate system.
Your task it to observe the way of finding the image of the pointimage of the point after translating along the axis X or the axis Y. Also decide what is the relation between the coordinates of the pointcoordinates of the point and its image in the given translation.

The conclusion:
As a result of the translation of the pointtranslation of the point A (x, y) by p units along the X axis and by q units along the Y axis we obtain the point B whose coordinates are (x + p, y + q).
Analyse the example.
In the rectangular coordinate systemrectangular coordinate system we mark the point A (2, 3) and translate it by 3 units to the right along the axis X and by 5 units up along the axis Y.
As a result we obtain point B:
B (2 + 3, 4 + 5) so B (5, 9).
Use obtained information in the exercises.
The point A (-4, 3) has been translated:
a) by 3 units to the right along the X axis and by 1 unit up along the Y axis,
b) by 3 units to the left along the X axis and by 1 unit down along the Y axis,
c) by 2 units to the right along the X axis and by 1 unit down along the Y axis,
d) by 5 units to the left along the X axis and by 4 units up along the Y axis.
Give coordinates of the B point that is the image of the pointimage of the point A in this translation.
Mark in the coordinate system the point A (1, -2) and the point B being its image after the translation:
a) by 2 units to the left along the X axis and by 1 unit up along the Y axis,
b) by 4 units to the right along the X axis and by 2 units down along the Y axis,
c) by 3 units to the right along the X axis and by 3 units up along the Y axis,
d) by 6 units to the left along the X axis and by 4 units down along the Y axis.
There is a triangle ABC whose vertices are A (0, -2), B (-1, 4) and C (5, 2). Find coordinates of the vertices of the triangle A’B’C’ that is an image of the ABC triangle in the translation by 2 units to the right along the X axis and by 4 units down along the Y axis. Draw the triangle ABC and its image on the coordinate system.
Prove that the tetragon ABCD is a parallelogram if: A (-3, -1), B (-4, 1), C (0, 1), D (-1, -1).
An extra task:
Point A (4, 2) is given.
After translating the point A by 3 units to the right along the axis X and by 5 units down along the Y axis we obtain the point B. Then, by translating the point B by one unit to the left along the X axis and by 2 units down along the Y axis we obtain the point C. Calculate coordinates of points B and C.
Do the revision exercises.
Exercises
