Question

Point G ( -7,4 ) is translated using the rule (x + 10, y -6)
What is the x-coordinate of G

Answer 1

(3, -2)

Explanation:

`G(-7,\ 4)\to x=-7,\ y=4\\\\\text{the rule}\ (x+10,\ y-6)\\\\\text{substitute}\\\\x+10=-7+10=3\\y-6=4-6=-2`

Answer 2

Answer: The x-coordinate is
`3`

Explanation:

Given the following point:

`G ( -7,4 )`

You can notice that its x-coordinate is -7.

You know that the given point is translated using this rule:

`(x + 10, y -6)`

Therefore, in order to find the x-coordinate of
`G'`, you need to add 10 to the x-coordinate of
`G ( -7,4 )`, Therefore, this is:

`x=-7+10\\\\x=3`
