Question

A model of a house has been drawn on a coordinate grid. One corner of the house has been drawn at (6, 3). The drawing will be translated two units down and three units to the right. How should the translation be written?

Answer 1

(9, 1)

Explanation:

Given the coordinate of one corner of the house has been drawn at (6, 3), if the drawing is translated two units down and three units to the right

two units down = -2 (along the negative y axis)

three units to the right = +3 (towards the positive x-axis)

The coordinate used to translate the model of the house (x, y) is (3, -2)

Adding both coordinates:

= (x, y) + (6, 3)

= (x+6, y+3)

Substitute the values of the translated coordinates

= (3+6, -2+3)

= (9, 1)

The translation should be written as (3+6, -2+3) which is equivalent to (9, 1)
