Question

An object is translated by (x + 4, y - 2). If one point in the image has the coordinates (5, -3), what would be the coordinates of its pre-image? (9, -5) (1, -5) (9, -1) (1, -1)

Answer 1

(1,-1) is the answer

Explanation:

Hope this helps

Answer 2

(1,-1)

Explanation:

A translation of (x,y) ⟶ (x + 4, y – 2) means that the coordinates of the pre-image have moved four units to the right and two units down.

To get the coordinates of the pre-image rom the image, we must reverse the procedure.

That is, we must go two units up and four units to the left.

The coordinates of Point P' are (5, -3), so those of P must have been (1, -1).
