Question

RSV has coordinates R(2,1), S(3,2), V(2,6). A translation maps point R to R' at

(-4,8). What are the coordinates for S' and V' for this translation?

Answer 1

S' (- 3, 9 ) , V' (- 4, 3 )

Explanation:

consider the coordinates of R and R'

R (2, 1 ) , R' (- 4, 8 )

2 → - 4 in the x- direction is - 6

1 → 8 in the y- direction is + 7

then the translation rule is

(x, y ) → (x - 6, y + 7 )

S (3, 2 ) → S' (3 - 6, 2 + 7 ) → S' (- 3, 9 )

V )2, 6 ) → V' (2 - 6, 6 + 7 ) → V' (- 4, 13 )
