Sliding a shape by a column vector, the top number moving it across and the bottom number up.

Author note — to cover

Translate shapes on axes by column vectors, top component across and bottom component up, negatives handled, and read off the vector between object and image — G24's translations as 2D vectors. Vector arithmetic beyond translation lives on the Vectors topic. Both tiers. (G7, G24)
