Question

Write a coordinate rule for the translation of f(x) to g(x). ~(Graph below)~

A. (x, y) → (x – 4, y + 5)

B. (x, y) → (x – 5, y + 4)

C. (x, y) → (x + 5, y – 4)

D. (x, y) → (x + 4, y – 5)

Answer 2

Look at the vertex of f(x). It's the lowest point in the center of the parabola in black. What are the coordinates of that point?

Answer 3

Then see how many units you need to move in x and in y to go to the corresponding point in g(x)

Answer 4

4,-3

Answer 5

@mathstudent55

Answer 6

The vertex of f(x) is at (2, -3), right?

Answer 7

ohh yes my bad sorry

Answer 8

Now starting at the vertex of f(x), (2, -3), move left then up until you get to the vertex of g(x) which is at (-3,1)

Answer 9

How many units did you move in x (left so it's negative)?
How many units did you move in y (up so it's positive)?

Answer 10

No, it's not C

Answer 11

ohhh

Answer 12

Answer my last questions just above.

Answer 13

A is my final answer its the only one that makes sense to me

Answer 14

Why do you ask for help, then ignore the questions I ask of you, then just guess an answer? A is also wrong, and I am done here.

Answer 15

WHAT WAS YOUR QUESTION??? I diddnt know you asked one!!

Answer 17

@mathstudent55

Answer 18

Look up around 9 responses above this one. I asked 2 questions. Just above I responded "No it's not C"

Answer 19

wich one though g(x) or f(x)

Answer 20

@mathstudent55

Answer 21

Start at the vertex of f(x) which is (2, -3)

Answer 22

You need to now move from that point (2, -3) to the vertex of g(x) which is (-3, 1)

Answer 23

Count how many units you need to go left (negative in x) and how many units you need to go up (positive in y) to get from the vertex of f(x) to the vertex of g(x).
