Question

A:(x,y) >> (x-3,y+4)
B:(x,y) >> (x+3,y-4)
C:(x,y) >> (x+4,y-3)
D:(x,y) >> (x-4,y+3)

Answer 1

Sorry i was eating ok im back

Answer 2

Ok, pick one of the points and follow its path, for example from A to A'.

Answer 3

2

Answer 4

?

Answer 5

If it translates to the right -- units, then x will have added -- units and vise versa for the left, x will have subtracted -- units. Sam thing for the y axis, if it went up -- units y will have added -- units and vise versa for if it went down, y will have subtracted -- units. Understand?

Answer 6

So first of all, pick a point. Let's do A to A'. Did A' travel left or right from the original?

Answer 7

ok so if its on the right x is gonna be positive? so A and D are knocked out?

Answer 8

right

Answer 9

Correct! :)

Answer 10

So now how many unit right did it go? Then ask yourself if it went up or down...

Answer 11

so is there something if it goes down and up?

Answer 12

like if it goes down Y is negitve or something?

Answer 13

left and right are the x values since if it moves left and right it's on the x axis and changing the x values.

Answer 14

up and down are the y values since if it moves up or down its on the y axis and changing the y values

Answer 15

Make sense?

Answer 16

so y is negitive?

Answer 17

Think of it as a numberline. If you start at x=3 and subtract 2 you end up at x=1. Or if you start at y=5 and subtract 1 you end up at y=4

Answer 18

yes

Answer 19

y is negative

Answer 20

i think its C

Answer 21

so how many units did it travel to the right?

Answer 22

this website is getting laggy

Answer 23

2 and a half

Answer 24

each square on your graph equals 2. So if A starts at x=2 and moves to...x=

Answer 25

Yeah, it is. :) I'm not just going to give you the answer though. I want to make sure you understand this so you can do other problems that are similar.

Answer 26

A is located at x=2 and A' is located at x=5. So it moved 3 units to the right. A is located at y=4 and A' is located at y=0 so it moved 4 units. Does that make sense?

Answer 27

4 units down, sorry. So using what we know about right and up=positive/addition and left and down=negative/subtraction what would your equation be?

Answer 28

Kinda its very confusing because it didnt say 1 square = 2

Answer 29

You're right, but if you look at the labels...There are two squares in between the origin and the number 4 and then two squares in between the number 4 and the number 8. You kind of have to use logic and problem solving to figure it out. :)

Answer 30

Do you understand now? What do you think the answer is?

Answer 31

I think my brain exploded your tooooo smart

Answer 32

but ya kinda

Answer 33

It's simple, really. Once you get the hang of it it won't seem as impossible, I promise. You just need some more practice.

Answer 34

so again, let me recap. A is located at x=2 and A' is located at x=5. So it moved 3 units to the right. A is located at y=4 and A' is located at y=0 so it moved 4 units units. We know that right and up=positive/addition and left and down=negative/subtraction so how do we transfer everything we found out into an equation to get the answer to your question?
