Question

If the point (x, y) is translated 3 units left and 5 units up, what are the new coordinates of the point after translation?

a) (x - 3, y + 5)
b) (x + 3, y - 5)
c) (x - 5, y + 3)
d) (x + 5, y - 3)

Answer 1

The new coordinates of the point after translation are (x - 3, y + 5).

Step-by-step explanation:

To translate a point 3 units left, we subtract 3 from the x-coordinate. To translate a point 5 units up, we add 5 to the y-coordinate. So, the new coordinates after translation are (x - 3, y + 5). Therefore, the correct answer is option a) (x - 3, y + 5).
