If a translation rule is (x,y) -> (x+2,y+2) does that means its 2 units to the right and 2 units up?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

yeah

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

word

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, exactly!

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

laughing out loud you're the bomb

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

so -- if a translation rule were to describe the translation of that is 2 units up and 8 units down it would be x-2, y+8?

OpenStudy (shamil98):

no.

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

six units down

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If x is translated 2 units up, you have x+2

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

oops, i meant to the left

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

you have up and down, that is your y-axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If y is translated 8 units down, you have y - 8

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

ERMMM LAUGHING MY retriceOFF

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry...correction...x+2 is a translation of 2 units to the right.

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

write them properly >.<

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

oh... it was all wrong. lulz 2 units to the left and 8 units up.

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

would be x-2, y+8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

left = decreasing in x value down = decreasing in y value up = increasing in y value right = increasing in x value

OpenStudy (shamil98):

x+1, y + 1 right 1, up 1

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

sweet

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

the rest will be like picking cottons... easy but tedious

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

>.<

OpenStudy (shamil98):

lol
