Question

The pentagon is translated 1unit down to the left and 10units down to create a new pentagon.Which rules describe this transformation?

Answer 1

(x - 1, y) -> (x - 1, y - 10)

Explanation:

Given

Translation: 1 unit left and 10 units down

Required

Determine the coordinates of the new pentagon

When a point (x,y) is translated b units left, the image of the translation is:

(x,y) -> (x - b, y)

So, 1 unit left means:

(x,y) -> (x - 1, y)

When a point (x,y) is translated h units down, the image of the translation is:

(x,y) -> (x, y - h)

So, 10 unit down means:

(x - 1, y) -> (x - 1, y - 10)

Hence, the rule of the translation is: (x - 1, y) -> (x - 1, y - 10)
