Question

Under the translation T(2, -3), will the point (1, 6) become (3, 9)?

Answer 1

"the translation T(2, -3)" means

shift every point 2 units to the right
shift every point 3 units down

Answer 2

"the translation T(2, -3)" also means

add 2 to every x coordinate
subtract 3 from every y coordinate

Answer 3

so if we start with the point (1,6) and apply that translation rule (described above), then where do we end up?

Answer 4

That would be (3,3), right?

Answer 5

correct

Answer 6

Okay, thank you!

Answer 7

so saying "Under the translation T(2, -3), will the point (1, 6) become (3, 9)" is half true

that "9" throws it off and makes it false

Answer 8

you're welcome
