Define rotations, reflections, and translations using geometric language: angles, circles, perpendicular/parallel lines, and segments.

Define a translation using geometric language

Problem

Describe the translation represented by the vector \(\text{right}~5\), \(\text{up}~2\).

Big Picture

What this problem is really about

A translation vector describes one shared directed displacement applied to every point, not separate movements for different vertices. Read its first component as horizontal motion and its second as vertical motion, preserving both sign and order, then express the result as the same move from every original point to its image.
