Question

Write an equation for the translation of x^2 + y^2 = 49 by 7 units right and 4 units up

Answer 1

Answer:

(x - 7)² + (y - 4)² = 49

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Equation: x² + y² = 49

Required:

New Equation when translated 7 units right and 4 units up

Taking it one step at a time.

When the equation is translated 7 units right, this implies a negative unit along the x axis.

The equation becomes

(x - 7)² + y² = 49

When the equation is translated 4 units up, this implies a negative unit along the y axis.

(x - 7)² + (y - 4)² = 49

The expression can be further simplified but it's best left in the form of

(x - 7)² + (y - 4)² = 49
