sorry hello computer froze

OpenStudy (perl):

(-5, -8 - 4) = (-5, -12)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okey so?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh the last one sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Point A is located at (2, -5). After it is translated, point A' is located at (-4, -5). What was the translation? 6 units to the right 6 units to the left 6 units up 6 units down

OpenStudy (anonymous):

heres another one that i need help

OpenStudy (perl):

jack, brb, afk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry but what does that mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello

OpenStudy (perl):

OpenStudy (perl):

brb = be right back afk = away from keyboard

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okey i am not really a big fan of the short wording and all so now i know:) lol

OpenStudy (perl):

:D

OpenStudy (perl):

A is (2,-5) after translating it became (-4,-5)

OpenStudy (perl):

so tell me what changed here ,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i do not really understand this so could u explain it to me!

OpenStudy (perl):

the x coordinate changed, it was 2 before, then it became -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okey

OpenStudy (perl):

A is the old point (2,-5) before translating , after translating the new point is (-4, -5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okey

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please go on

OpenStudy (perl):

so to go from (2,-5) to ( -4, -5) all you need to do is change the x coordinate, subtract it by 6

OpenStudy (perl):

and leave the y coordinate alone

OpenStudy (perl):

let me graph the point
