Question

A point located at (-5, 2) is translated right 3 units. What are the coordinates of the image? (-5, 5) (-2, 5) (-5, -1) (-2, 2)

Answer 1

ANSWER

(-2,2)

EXPLANATION

The rule for translating a point 'k' units to the right is

$(x,y)\to (x+k,y)$

If the point located at (-5, 2) is translated right 3 units, the coordinates of the image is obtained by adding 3 to the x-coordinate.

This implies that,

$( - 5,2)\to ( - 5+3,2)$

$( - 5,2)\to ( -2,2)$

Therefore the image is:

(-2,2)

Answer 2

Answer:

(-2, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following coordinates of a point:

$(-5, 2)$

If this point is translated to the right for 3 units, what will be the coordinates of its image?

Translation towards right side for 3 units means that 3 units are added to its x coordinate so the new point will be:

$( - 5 , 2 )$ $\implies$ $( - 5 + 3 , 2 ) =$ (-2, 2)
