What is translation of axes?

Translation of axes is the process of shifting a coordinate system to a new position without changing the shape or orientation of the graph. This is done by adding or subtracting constant values to the x and/or y coordinates of each point on the graph.

The effect of the translation is that the position of all the points on the graph is shifted, and the overall shape of the graph remains the same. The distance between points, angles and slopes remain constant before and after the translation.

Translation of axes is often used in graphing and plotting to make it easier to compare graphs or to visualize different aspects of the data. It is also used in geometry to transform objects and shapes, and in engineering and physics to describe the motion and position of objects in space.
