Translation

We have some figures that can be transformed in several ways, and translation is one of them.

Translation means that a figure can be moved. It is not rotated, reflected or re-sized, just moved.

Every point of the object must be moved in the same direction and for the same distance.

One way of express it mathematically is by adding (or substracting) a certain quatity on each coordinate of its points.
