Question

Point L(21, 15) is translated such that the image is L'(35,-10). Write a rule for the translation.

Answer 1

The translation rule for the given transformation is (x, y) → (x + 14, y - 25)

How to find the rule

To determine the translation rule, We investigate both coordinates. That is coordinates of the image and preimage

For the x coordinates

21 + x = 35

x = 35 - 21

x = 14

For the y coordinates

15 + y = -10

y = -10 - 15

y = -25

The translation rule for the given transformation is (x, y) → (x + 14, y - 25)
