Question

Point M (-3, 5) is translated using this rule. (x, y) ----> (x - 1, y) What are the coordinates of M'?

Answer 1

Answer:

The coordinates of point M' are $M'(x,y) = (-4, 5)$.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the statement, we have the following translation rule:

$M'(x,y) = M(x,y) + (-1, 0)$ (1)

Where:

$M(x,y)$ - Original point.

$M'(x,y)$ - Translated point.

$(-1, 0)$ - Translation vector.

If we know that $M(x,y) = (-3, 5)$, then the coordinates of the point M' are:

$M'(x,y) = (-3,5) + (-1,0)$

$M'(x,y) = (-4, 5)$

The coordinates of point M' are $M'(x,y) = (-4, 5)$.
