Question

Shape p is translated to shape q using vector (a b).
write down the values of a and b.

Answer 1

a = 3 , b = 5

Explanation:

consider the coordinates of the upper right vertex of both P and Q

P (4, 4 ) → Q (7, 9 )

a represents a shift in the x- direction and b a shift in the y- direction.

4 → 7 , is a shift of + 3 in the x- direction ( value of a )

4 → 9 , is a shift of + 5 in the y- direction ( value of b )

thus a = 3 and b = 5
