Question

Use graph paper Plot point Pot (2-4) Then plot the image of point P under a translation of 4 units to the left and 3 units down Upload a photo of your graph paper.

Answer 1

We want to plot the point (2,-4) and apply a transformation to it. Then, we want to plot the resulting point after translating it.

The transformation is a translation of 4 units to the left and 3 units down. The x coordinate is related to the horizontal positions (and movements) and the y coordinate is related to the vertical positions (and movements).

So, a translation 4 units to the left means that we will subtract 4 to the x coordinate and a translation of 3 units down means that we will subtract 3 to the y coordinate.

So we have

`(2-4,-4-3)=(-2,-7)`

So we want to plot points (2,-4) and (-2,-7).

Thus, we plot as follows
