Question

The image of the point (-5, 1) under a translation is (-6,3). Find the

coordinates of the image of the point (2, -3) under the same translation.

Answer 1

The coordinates are (1,-1).

Explanation:

The image of the point (-5, 1) under a translation is (-6,3).

Point x was -5 and now is -6, and y was 1 and now is 3. Thus, the transaction rule is:

(x,y) -> (x - 1, y + 2)

Find the coordinates of the image of the point (2, -3) under the same translation.

(2,-3) -> (2-1, -3 + 2) = (1,-1)

The coordinates are (1,-1).
