Question

Find the image of the given point

under the given translation.
P(8,-3) T(x, y) = (x-4, y + 7)
P' = ([?], [ ])
Enter the number that belongs in
the green box.
Enter

Answer 1

P'(4,4)

Explanation:

⭐ What does it mean to translate a figure?

• Translating a figure means to move said figure up/down or left/right on the coordinate plane.
• You will know how much to move the figure up/down or left/right in the notation you are given.
• The coordinates of the given figure is the (x,y) in the translation notation

In the notation you are given (
`T__ < x-4,y+7 > P = P'`), point P is going to be moved 4 units to the left and 7 units up.

⭐How do we translate P?

1. Take the coordinates of point P and compute the rule used on each coordinate

P' = (8-4, -3 + 7)

∴ P' = (4,4)
