The translated vector-space structure follows by translating the new origin to the ordinary one using the bijection . Transporting ordinary scalar multiplication through gives
Then and , so the transported operations satisfy all vector space axioms. In particular, an explicit distributive check is
The other distributive law follows in the same coordinates, or directly by expanding .
