Answer 1

Answer: To find the image of a figure under a translation, you need to apply the same translation to every point in the figure.

In this case, the image of hexagon DEFGHI is hexagon D′E′F′G′H′I′. To find the image of each point, you can apply the translation that maps point D to point D′.

For example, to find the image of point E under the translation, you can apply the same translation that maps point D to point D′:

Point D is located at (2, 5).

Point D′ is located at (-6, -2).

The translation that maps point D to point D′ is a translation 6 units to the left and 2 units down.

To find the image of point E under this translation, you can apply the same translation to point E:

Point E is located at (5, 5).

The image of point E is located at (5 - 6, 5 - 2) = (-1, 3).

You can follow the same process to find the images of the other points under the translation.

Alternatively, you can use the coordinates of point D and point D′ to find the translation vector that describes the translation. The translation vector is a displacement that describes the change in position of a point under the translation.

In this case, the translation vector is given by the displacement from point D to point D′:

Point D is located at (2, 5).

Point D′ is located at (-6, -2).

The translation vector is given by the displacement (-6 - 2, -2 - 5) = (-8, -7).

To find the image of any point under the translation, you can add the translation vector to the coordinates of the point. For example, to find the image of point E under the translation, you can add the translation vector to the coordinates of point E:

Point E is located at (5, 5).

The translation vector is (-8, -7).

The image of point E is located at (5 - 8, 5 - 7) = (-3, -2).

You can follow the same process to find the images of the other points under the translation.
