Question

Write a function to represent the point (x,y) being translated of 3 units to the right and 2 units down.Type the correct answer in the box.

Answer 1

We must write the function that represents the translation of the point (x, y):

• 3 units to the right,

,

• 2 units down.

1) A translation 3 units to the right is equivalent to sum 3 to the coordinate x:

`x\rightarrow x+3.`

2) A translation 2 units down is equivalent to subtracting 2 to the coordinate y:

`y\rightarrow y-2.`

The function that represents the translation is:

`T(x,y)=(x+3,y-2).`

Answer

`T(x,y)=(x+3,y-2)`
