Question

In the app you are creating, a duck is going to fly from the coordinates (1, 3) then go 3 units right. And 6 units down. Write a rule to describe the translation. What are the coordinates of the duck’s final position?

Answer 1

The rule of the translation is (x,y) ----> (x+3,y-6)

The coordinates of the duck’s final position are (4,-3)

Explanation:

we know that

A duck is going to fly from the coordinates (1, 3) then go 3 units right. And 6 units down

That means -----> The rule of the translation is

3 units right ----> x+3

6 units down ---> y-6

so

(x,y) ----> (x+3,y-6)

To find out the the coordinates of the duck’s final position, apply the rule of the translation to the duck’s original position

so

(1,3) ------> (1+3,3-6)

(1,3) ------> (4,-3)
