Question

please help!!
Image point B'(4, -8) was transformed using the translation (x - 2, y + 3). What were the coordinates of B?

Answer 1

Hint: the rule is that you take any x coordinate and you subtract 2

Answer 2

so if you subtracted 2 from some x coordinate and you got 4, this would mean that

x-2 = 4

Answer 3

so what is x?

Answer 4

x would be 2

Answer 5

no

Answer 6

x-2 = 4

x-2+2 = 4+2 ... Add 2 to both sides.

x+0 = 6

x = 6

Answer 7

it would be 6 because you would add 2 to 4

Answer 8

you somehow subtracted 2 from both sides, when you should have added

Answer 9

yep

Answer 10

now solve y+3 = -8

Answer 11

so it would be -11

Answer 12

yep y = -11

Answer 13

so (6, -11) is the original point B

Answer 14

ok! Thank you!!

Answer 15

sure thing
