Question

A figure is translated by (x,y) ---> (x+3,y-4) then by (x,y) ---> (x -3,y+4). Without graphing, how do you know the final position of the figure? Write an argument that can be used to defend your solution.

Answer 1

the figure is in its original spot

Explanation:

when u first translated the figure, the rule was (x+3,y-4), so it goes up by 3 units and left by 4 units. The next translation was the exact opposite of what u just did. It went down 3 units, and right by 4 units. By doing the exact opposite, u ended up on the original spot before anything was done to it
