Question

Kim was sitting in row 5, seat 8 at a soccer game when she discovered her ticket was for row 2, seat 3. Write a rule to describe the translation needed to put her in the proper seat.

Answer 1

Explanation:

We can assume we are seeing these seats as points on a graph with her current position being (8, 5) and her destination being (3, 2). Using these values Kim would need to follow the following rules...

Move 3 positions down to point/seat (8, 2)

Move 5 positions to the left to point/seat (3,2)

Following these instructions, she would correctly transition to the correct seat.
