A translation is the movement of an object in a straight line while preserving its shape and size. This video shows how to do them in the coordinate plane.

The coordinate plane is an important tool to help you navigate and keep track of the locations of objects.

Coordinates are pairs of numbers that describe the exact locations of points in the coordinate plane.

The coordinate plane is divided into four sections called quadrants. Each quadrant represents one-quarter of the whole coordinate plane.

A translation is when a shape slides from one location to another along a straight line. The translation may be vertical, horizontal or diagonal.
