Question

The image of the point (2, 1) under a translation is (-3, -2). Find

the coordinates of the image of the point (-2, -9) under the same
translation.

Answer 1

(-7, -12)

Step-by-step explanation:

The translation of (2, 1) to (-3, -2) is 5 units left and 3 and 3 units down

2 - 5 = -3, x-coordinate = -3

1 - 3 = -2, y-coordinate = -2

Thus that makes the coordinates (-3, -2)

So that is taking away 5 from the x-axis and 3 away from the y-axis

-2 - 5 = -7, x-coordinate = -7

-9 - 3 = -12, y-coordinate = -12

Thus, the answer is (-7, -12)
