How to play
1
Choose grid & shapes
Select 1 or 4 quadrant grid, then simple or complex shapes.
2
Read the translation vector
The top number is horizontal movement (right = positive), the bottom is vertical (up = positive).
3
Draw the translated shape
Click grid points to plot the translated shape. Close it by clicking back on your starting point, then check your answer.
Vector (3, -2) = move 3 right, 2 down
Apply the same vector to every vertex of the shape
