Question

If the translation maps point (3,2) to (4,5); or T: (3,2) —> (4,5), then what is the image of point (0,0)? (4,5) (-1,-3) (1,3)

Answer 1

(1, 3)

Explanation:

If the translation is ...

(3, 2) + (a, b) = (4, 5)

Then we can find (a, b) by subtraction:

(4, 5) -(3, 2) = (a, b) = (4-3, 5-2) = (1, 3)

Not the image of point (0, 0) will be ...

(0, 0) + (a, b) = image

(0, 0) + (1, 3) = (0+1, 0+3) = (1, 3)

The image of the point is (1, 3).
