Question

An object is translated by (x-2, y-6). If one point in the pre-image has the coordinates (-3, 7,) what would be the coordinates of this image

Answer 1

(- 5, 1 )

Explanation:

Given the translation rule

(x, y ) → (x - 2, y - 6 )

This means subtract 2 from the original x- coordinate and subtract 6 from the original y- coordinate, that is

(- 3, 7 ) → (- 3 - 2, 7 - 6 ) → (- 5, 1 )
