Question

Polygon ABCD is translated to create polygon A’B’C’D’. Point A is located at (1,5), and point A’ is located at (-2,3). Which expression defines the transformation of any point (x,y) to (x’,y’) on the polygons?

Answer 1

The expression is (x,y) -----> (x-3,y-2)

Explanation:

we have that

A(1,5) ----> A'(-2,3)

so

The rule of the translation is equal to

(x,y) -----> (x',y')

(x,y) -----> (x-3,y-2)

That means-----> the translation is 3 units at left and 2 units down
