A translation moves every point of a figure by the same distance and in the same direction, resulting in a new figure called the image of the original. The document provides examples of translating triangles by translating each point by adding or subtracting values from their x- and y-coordinates. Translations can be described using arrow notation, where the rule (x, y) → (x + a, y + b) means translating each point a units right and b units up. Figures related by translation are congruent but not similar.

A transformation is a change in the __________, _______________, or ______________ of a
figure.
A translation is a transformation which ____________ each point of a figure the same
____________ and in the same ________________. The resulting figure after a transformation is called the ___________ of the original figure. EXAMPLE 1: ABC is translated 1 unit right and 4 units up. Draw the image ABC.
What are the coordinates of:
A (1, -3)
A _________
B (3, 0)
B _________
