The document defines key concepts about vectors and translations:
- A translation slides every point of a figure the same distance and direction, preserving angles and lengths, making it an isometry.
- A vector has both direction and magnitude, with an initial and terminal point. It can be represented by its horizontal and vertical components.
- A translation theorem states that a translation is an isometry because it preserves the congruence of figures.
