What is a vector and which transformation is it used for?
Translation vectors translate a figure from one place to another. In this lesson we’ll look at how to use translation vectors to translate a figure. A translation vector is a type of transformation that moves a figure in the coordinate plane from one location to another.
What does transformation vector mean?
A linear transformation is a function from one vector space to another that respects the underlying (linear) structure of each vector space. The two vector spaces must have the same underlying field. …

How are rotations and enlargements different from scalars?
Rotations and enlargements are constructed from a centre. A scalar has direction only whereas a vector has direction and magnitude. A vector has a magnitude and direction but its starting point is variable. Parallel lines have vectors that are multiples of each other. To add and subtract vectors is similar to collecting like terms.
How are translation vectors used in Cartesian axes?
Translation vectors are used to describe movements along Cartesian axes. When reflecting objects the image is always the same distance from the line of reflection as the object. Rotations and enlargements are constructed from a centre. A scalar has direction only whereas a vector has direction and magnitude.
