Question

Can someone help me with translation

Answer 1

Answer:

  P' = (4, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

T(x, y) is a function of x and y. Put the x- and y-values of point P into the translation formula and do the arithmetic.

  P' = T(8, -3) = (8 -4, -3 +7) = (4, 4)

Comment on notation

The notation can be a little confusing, as the same form is used to mean different things. Here, P(8, -3) means point P has coordinates x=8, y=-3. The same form is used to define the translation function:

  T(x, y) = (x -4, y+7)

In this case, T(x, y) is not point T, but is a function named T (for "translation function") that takes arguments x and y and gives a coordinate pair as a result.
