The image of square LMNP after a translation of (x, y) → (x 5, y – 3) is square 4
Translation is a geometrical term of a way of moving an object from a location on the xy-plane to another.
The coordinate LMNP as shown are:
- L (-3, 1)
- M = (-1, 1)
- N = (-1, -1)
- P = (-3, -1)
Moving the object using the translation rule, the new coordinate will be at L'M'N'P'
L' = (-3 + 5, 1 - 3) = (2, -2)
M' = (-1 + 5, 1 - 3) = (4, -2)
N' = (-1 + 5, -1 - 3) = (4, -3)
P' = (-3 + 5, -1 - 3) = (2, -4)
Locating the coordinates on the xy-plane, we can see that the image of square 4. Hence the image of square LMNP after a translation of (x, y) → (x 5, y – 3) is square 4
