Question

Point P′(5, −4) is the image of point P(2, 3) under a translation. What is the image of (6, −2) under the same translation?

Answer 1

(9, - 9 )

Explanation:

P (2, 3 ) → P' (5, - 4 )

2 → 5 in the x- direction is + 3

3 → - 4 in the y- direction is - 7

translation rule is then (x, y ) → (x + 3, y - 7 ) , so

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