(-2, -5) and moved 3 steps up and 1 step right.

Write a rule to describe the translation.

What were the coordinates of the drummer's final position?

Answer 1

(x+1, y+3) = (-1,-2)

Explanation:

A Translation is a Geometric transformation that describes a movement in a given direction at a constant distance. Considering that 3 steps up mean 3 steps over y-axis (y=-5) and 1 step to the right of x=-2.

So, (x+1, y+3) = (-2+1, -5+3) =(-1,-2)
