Question

What is the image of P(11,-4) using the translation (x, y) = (x– 17, y+2)?

Answer 1

The image of P(11,-4) will be: P'(-6, -2)

Explanation:

Given the point

• P (11, -4)

The rule:

(x, y) = (x– 17, y+2)

Meaning the image of P(11,-4) can be determined by subtracting 17 units (moving left) from the x-values and adding 2 units (moving up) to the y-values.

Therefore,

• (x, y) = (x– 17, y+2)

P(11, -4) → P'(11-17, -4+2) = P'(-6, -2)

Thus, the image of P(11,-4) will be: P'(-6, -2)
