Answer 2

ahh thanks can u see it ?

Answer 3

i can see it

now, what would you say needs to be done?

Answer 4

im not sure I was confused

Answer 5

would you agree that we need to flip it from side to side somehow?

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

what process do you know will let us do that?

Answer 8

if we want y to stay the same (for the moment), but flip all the x parts to the other side ....

Answer 9

I think transformation ?

Answer 10

i got no idea what to name it .... that should be contained in your material.

would you agree that for all points (x,y), that we can flip about the y axis by making them all (-x,y)?
\[f:(x,y)\to(-x,y)\]

Answer 11

yes I agree

Answer 12

lets work with just one point, say A, if we move A the rest move along with it:

A: (-1,3)

flip A to get (1,3)

now we can move it by addition such that it matches A'

Answer 13

A' is (1,1)

what do we need to add to the parts of A to get from (1,3) to (1,1)?

Answer 14

slide?

Answer 15

i think the term is glide :) but yeah, now that we have this thing flipped over; we need to 'slide' it into position by adding what is needed to actaully move it

Answer 16

do you agree that (1,3-2) = (1,1)

Answer 17

Yes I agree

Answer 18

as a strategy for this problem we took a point: (x,y)

we flipped it over the y axis by negating x: (x,y) -> (-x,y)

we then add -2 to the y part to move it in place: (-x,y) -> (-x,y-2)

Answer 19

youll have to reference your material to determine what those are actually called tho

Answer 20

Alright, thanks @amistre64
