Question

draw the image of each figure under the given transformation. then describe the transformation in words. Help!!!!

Answer 1

The vertices of image are P'(1,2), Q'(4,3) and R'(2,-3). The graph of PQR translate 5 units right to form P'Q'R'.

Explanation:

From the given figure it is clear that the vertices of triangle PQR are P(-4,2), Q(-1,3) and R(-3,-3).

The rule of transformation is

`(x,y)\rightarrow (x+5,y)`

The vertices of image are

`P(-4,2)\rightarrow P'(1,2)`

`Q(-1,3)\rightarrow Q'(4,3)`

`R(-3,-3)\rightarrow R'(2,-3)`

The vertices of image are P'(1,2), Q'(4,3) and R'(2,-3). The graph of PQR translate 5 units right to form P'Q'R'.

Answer 2

The transformation only needs 5 translations of points to the right. That is what is meant by x+5. Let's take for example the original point P and the transformed point P'. The coordinates of P are (-4,2). Add 5 to -4, the sum would be 1. That's why point P' is at (1,2). The transformed figure is shown in red.
