Question

Translations - Find the Rule


Basic Understanding: The rule for a translation describes the movement of the points within the image.


Problem: ∆X'Y'Z' is the image of ∆XYZ after the translation (x,y) → (x + a, y + b). If points X (3, 3), Y (11, 6), Z (0, -5), and X' (6, -1) are given, then what is the rule for the translation? What are the coordinates of Y' and Z'? How far, to the nearest tenth, is point Y from point Y' after the translation? Is ∆X'Y'Z' congruent to ∆XYZ?


(x,y) → (x + , y + )


Y' ( , )


Z' ( , )


Point Y is approximately units from y'
