Translation rule question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (nikato):

so you started with R(-5,-5) and R' became (-11,-11) lets look at the x-coordinate first how do you get from -5 to -11?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

By moving it to the left 6

OpenStudy (nikato):

correct. so do you add or subtract 6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry I took so long, my computer was having problems.

OpenStudy (nikato):

its ok. so you're saying -5+6=-11. is that true?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, you subtract 6.

OpenStudy (nikato):

yes. so the translation for your x would be x-6 now lets do the y-coordinate again it went from -5 to -11 can you find the rule?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y-6?

OpenStudy (nikato):

correct! so your translation would be (x-6,y-6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, B is the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you for helping me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see now.

OpenStudy (nikato):

correct. and no problem. and just to let you know if you wanted to find the tranlsated U. you plug in the original point/coordinates into (x-6,y-6)
