Question

Write an algebraic rule to describe the translation B(3,2)→ 8'(-5,0).

Answer 1

<-8,-2>

Explanation:

Answer 2

(x - 8, y - 2)

Explanation:

x-coordinates:

3 and -5

How do you get from 3 to -5?

You subtract 8

This means:

x - 8

y-coordinates:

2 and 0

How do you get from 2 to 0?

You subtract 2

This means:

y - 2

Put it together:

(x - 8, y - 2)

Therefore, the algebraic rule is subtract 8, subtract 2.
