Vector Coordinate Geometry

This example demonstrates how to perform translation using a vector. Key mathematical concepts include vectors and translation. Using GeoGebra commands such as Polygon, Vector, and Translate, the construction of the translated figure is shown. Suitable for students in middle school and above to learn about translation in coordinate geometry.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

Polygon(A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I) → poly1, a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i
Vector(J, K) → u
Translate(A, u) → A'
Translate(B, u) → B'
Translate(C, u) → C'
Translate(D, u) → D'
Translate(E, u) → E'
Translate(F, u) → F'
Translate(G, u) → G'
Translate(H, u) → H'
Translate(I, u) → I'
Polygon(A', B', C', D', E', F', G', H', I') → poly1', a', b', c', d', e', f', g', h', i'
Vector(C, C') → v
