Question

If the triangle on the grid below is translated by using the rule (x, y) right-arrow (x + 5, y minus 2), what will be the coordinates of B prime?

Answer 1

Answer:

$B'(x,y) = (0,-2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached grid

Translation rule: $(x,y) = (x + 5, y - 2)$

Required

Determine the coordinates of B'

First, we have to write out the coordinates of B

$B(x,y) = (-5,0)$

Next is to apply the translation rule $(x,y) = (x + 5, y - 2)$

$B(x,y) = (-5,0)$ becomes

$B'(x,y) = B(x+5,y-2)$

Substitute -5 for x and 0 for y

$B'(x,y) = (-5+5,0-2)$

$B'(x,y) = (0,-2)$
