Question

The vertices of pentagon LMPQR are at L(4, -2), M(5, -2), P(8, -5), Q(6, -7), R(2, -4). The coordinates of the pentagon after two translations are L'(-5, -1), M'(-4, -1), P'(-1, -4), Q'(-3, -6), R'(-7, -3).

How was LMPQR translated to create L'M'P'Q'R'?

Answer 1

@whipcream<3 Look at point L (4,-2) and compare it to L' (-5,-1)
plot them. which way do you move to get from L to L' left or right. how far?
to get from L to L' do you go up or down? how much?

Answer 2

the first number in (4,-2) ( the 4) is the x coordinate, it tells you left or right of the y-axis.

Answer 3

oh ok !

Answer 4

Did you get it ?
