Answer: T(-5, 3)
=================================================
Step-by-step explanation:
The translation notation T(-5, 3) looks like an ordered pair point, but it is not. Instead, it is a rule to tell you how to shift any point left/right and up/down. The first number is the left/right shifting as its done along the x axis. The negative value means we shift left, so we shift 5 units to the left. The positive 3 in the y coordinate place means we shift 3 units up.
We see this shifting happen when we go from
- A = (-1, -1) to A ' = (-6, 2)
- B = (2, 3) to B ' = (-3, 6)
- C = (5, -3) to C ' = (0, 0)
The translation notation T(-5, 3) is the same as writing
which may be a more descriptive notation to use, and it would avoid confusion with ordered pair point notation.
