Question

A point located at (-5, 2) is translated right 3 units. What are the coordinates of the image?

(-2, 5)
(-2, 2)
(-5, 5)
(-5, -1)

Answer 1

(-2,2)

Step-by-step explanation: The rule for translating a point 'k' units to the right is

(x, y) > (x + k, y)

If the point located at (-5, 2) is translated right 3 units, the coordinates of the image is obtained by adding 3 to the x-coordinate.

This implies that,

(--5, 2) > (--5+ 3,2)

(--5, 2) > (--2, 2)

Therefore:

(-2,2)
