In this lesson we’ll look at how the translation of a figure in a coordinate plane determines where it’s located. A translation is a transformation that moves a figure in a coordinate plane from one location to another. In this way a translation can be thought of as a slide with no rotating. The slide won’t change the shape or size of the figure, and with no rotation, the orientation won’t change either.
