Question

Find the vector that describes the given translation.
V->W
(V is at 2,-2 and W is at 0,-4)
Please explain!

Answer 1

BTW the "->" is an arrow

Answer 2

how do you move to get from V to W ?

Answer 3

end - start = direction

from V to W means we want: W - V

Answer 4

it said from V to W
They are points on a graph

Answer 5

i know what they are ....

Answer 6

i am trying to figure out what it means by finding the vector from the given translation. Could you explain how i use the translation please?

Answer 7

it seems like ur always the one to answer my questions

Answer 8

you place yourself at V and move over until you are under W; keep a count of how many places you had to move.

next turn and move up or down to get to W; keep a record of how many places you had to move.

the description of that record of movements defines your vector

Answer 9

under or over W ...

Answer 10

<2,2> ?
Sorry for the dumb questions but im not the best at this as u can imagine...

Answer 11

personally, I like the mathway better:

W (0,-4)
-V (2,-2)
--------
<vector>

Answer 12

<-2,-2>

Answer 13

better :)

Answer 14

now the translation is just placeing an x and a y in their places

Answer 15

<x-2, y-2>

Answer 16

but i might be interping the question off; <-2,-2> is the vector that descirbes from V to W

Answer 17

I dont know because it mentions translation so i dont know if it means something else

Answer 18

me either :/ <x-2,y-2> sounds good, but so does <-2,-2>

Answer 19

i hat geometry

Answer 20

and language arts :)

Answer 21

find the vector, that results in the given translation would be <-2,-2>

Answer 22

hmmm... lastley what is a translation exactley ;)

Answer 23

tranlsations are moving points around as defined by a given rule ..

Answer 24

if I tell you to put your left leg in and put your left leg out, and do the hokey pokey and turn yourself about; that would be a translation

Answer 25

well that is the most....creative defiitino ive ever heard. Thanks!

Answer 26

lol .... im sure its the textbook definition :)

Answer 27

I need to tell my math teacher that...

Answer 28

good luck, im outta here

Answer 29

k bye!
