The point A(-3, -2) is translated using T: (x,y) → (x + 5, y - 3).

What is the distance from A to A'?

Question

The point A(-3, -2) is translated using T: (x,y) → (x + 5, y - 3).

What is the distance from A to A'?

precal · Answer

x coordinate is moved to the right 5 units that is why it is x+5
the y coordinate is moved down 3 units, that is why it is y-3

anonymous · Answer

because its moving down

precal · Answer

point is moved 5 units to the right and 3 down

anonymous · Answer

A' coordinates are (2,-5).Distance between A and A' is $$\sqrt{((2-(-3))^2+((-5-(-2))^2}=\sqrt{34}$$

anonymous · Answer

Why not A) calculate A and A', then apply distance formula or B) apply distance formula to two general points, then plug in for $x$ and $y$?
