Question

Give the rule for translating a point 4 units left and 8 units up

Answer 1

translation is

x-4,y+8

Explanation:

Answer 2

(x-4,y+8)

Explanation:

Given

`Point = (x,y)`

Required

Translate

• 4 units left
• 8 units up

8 units up

The general rule for up translation is;

`f'(x,y) = f(x,y+h)`

Where h is the unit translated up

In this case:

`h = 8`

So, we have:

`f'(x,y) = f(x,y+8)`

4 units left

The general rule for up translation is;

`f'(x,y) = f(x-b,y)`

Where b is the unit translated left

In this case:

`b = 4`

So, we have:

`f`

Hence, the rule of translation is: (x-4,y+8)
