The cards Question What is a translation? Tap to flip Answer A transformation in which every point of a shape moves the same distance in the same direction. Question When are two shapes congruent? Tap to flip Answer When one can fit exactly on top of the other using rotation, reflection or translation. Question After a translation, how are the image and the object related? Tap to flip Answer They are congruent. Question What is a vertex? Tap to flip Answer The point where two or more line segments meet (plural: vertices). Question What is displacement? Tap to flip Answer The distance from the starting point, measured in a straight line. Question What can a vector be used to describe? Tap to flip Answer A translation. Question What do you need to know to carry out a translation? Tap to flip Answer The distance to move left/right and the distance to move up/down. Question In a column vector, what does the top value give? Tap to flip Answer The distance left/right (the horizontal movement). Question In a column vector, what does the bottom value give? Tap to flip Answer The distance up/down (the vertical movement). Question When a shape is translated, which part of it moves? Tap to flip Answer The entire shape. Question What path does a drawn vector take from the start point to the end point? Tap to flip Answer A straight line, covering the shortest distance. Question When describing the movement of a vector, what does 'across' refer to? Tap to flip Answer The horizontal component. Question What two properties does a vector have? Tap to flip Answer Direction and magnitude. Question Using gradients, when are two vectors parallel? Tap to flip Answer When the gradient of each vector is the same. Question How are parallel vectors related to each other? Tap to flip Answer They are multiples of each other: one is a scalar multiple of the other. Question Must parallel vectors point in the same direction? Tap to flip Answer No: the scalar multiple can be negative, so the direction can be opposite while the gradients stay equivalent. Question When are two lines parallel? Tap to flip Answer When they are straight lines that are always the same (non-zero) distance apart. Question What is the gradient of a line? Tap to flip Answer A measure of how steep the line is: the rate of change in the y-direction with respect to the positive x-direction. Question What is a resultant vector? Tap to flip Answer The single vector that produces the same effect as a combination of other vectors. Question What is the additive inverse of a number? Tap to flip Answer A number that, when added to the original number, gives a sum of 0. Question What is a scalar? Tap to flip Answer A quantity that has magnitude but not direction. Question Vectors can be multiplied by a scalar. Can two vectors be multiplied by each other? Tap to flip Answer No, vectors cannot be multiplied by each other. Question What does multiplying a vector by −1 do? Tap to flip Answer It gives the opposite direction only; the magnitude stays the same. Question When a vector calculation has more than one operation, what still applies? Tap to flip Answer The priority of operations. Question What can help you check that a resultant vector is correct? Tap to flip Answer Constructing (drawing) all the vectors.

How this deck was checked On 2026-11-02, every card was compared with its source: the lessons of Oak National Academy, a public body funded by England's Department for Education that publishes lessons for the national curriculum. Because the cards come from those lessons, no second source was sought. The comparison was done automatically, not by a teacher, so a card can still be wrong. Flash Feed is not affiliated with any source named here.
