Translation

Sliding a shape

A translation slides every point of a shape the same distance in the same direction - like sliding a photo across a table without turning or resizing it.

Described by a column vector, e.g. (3, -2) means "move 3 right, 2 down".

Example: Point (1,4) translated by (3,-2) moves to (1+3, 4-2) = (4,2).
