Given:
The graph of a line segment.
The line segment AB translated by the following rule:
To find:
The coordinates of the end points of the line segment A'B'.
Solution:
From the given figure, it is clear that the end points of the line segment AB are A(-2,-3) and B(4,-1).
We have,
Using this rule, we get
Similarly,
Therefore, the endpoint of the line segment A'B' are A'(2,-6) and B'(8,-4).
