@jim_thompson5910 i need a little more help?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

going from (0,0) to (5, -3), how are you translating the points?

OpenStudy (erinweeks):

going up and don ? idk

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you go to the right 5 and down 3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so to go to the right 5, you go from x to x-5

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

to go down 3, you subtract 3

OpenStudy (erinweeks):

so it would be B?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
