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

Describe a transformation with precise defining details

Problem

Use precise language to describe the transformation shown by these facts: each vertex moves \(4~\text{units}\) right and \(1~\text{unit}\) down

Big Picture

What this problem is really about

Precise transformation language begins by identifying the motion pattern, then supplying the data that uniquely defines it. When every vertex receives one common directed displacement, encode the horizontal change first and the vertical change second, with signs that preserve right-versus-left and up-versus-down.
