    This document discusses different types of geometric transformations including isometries like translations, axial and central symmetry, and rotations as well as homotheties such as enlargements and reductions. It specifically defines a translation as a transformation characterized by a vector, with an example given of translating the point P=(2,-5) by the vector v=OP, which moves each point in the plane 2 units right and 5 units down.

    TRANSLATION
    A translation is characterized by a vector. (example of a vector and of a translation of a given vector). Knowing vector = knowing translation E.g consider O= (0;0) and point P=(2;-5) (2;-5) = components of the vector v = OP Each point of the plane is translated 2 units to the right and 5 units down.
