Question

When the transformation

Answer 1

Answer: Choice C.   P(1, -3)

=========================================================

Explanation:

The transformation rule is $(x,y) \to (x-4, y+7)$

We have x change to x-4. This means whatever x is, we subtract 4 from it to get the new x value.

In this case, we're given the new x value is -3, so

x-4 = new x value

x-4 = -3

x-4+4 = -3+4

x = 1

Similarly, 4 is the new y value, so,

y+7 = new y value

y+7 = 4

y+7-7 = 4-7

y = -3

The preimage point is therefore P(1, -3)
