Question

A polygon is shown on the graph:
if the polygon is translated 2 units down and 4 units left, what will the coordinates of the new image be? Use prime notation in expressing the new coordinates.

Answer 1

4 units left : subtract 4 from each x coordinate
2 units down : subtract 2 from each y coordinate

Answer 2

5,1?

Answer 3

@rational

Answer 4

im horrible at math lol!

Answer 5

i dont think so, you're good actually

Answer 6

look at the given diagram,

A is located at (1, 5) yes ?

Answer 7

yes.

Answer 8

you think im good at math? i have a 56 percent as my grade.

Answer 9

(1, 5)


first number is called x coordinate : 1
second number is called y cooridnate : 5

Answer 10

im really trying to bring it up.

Answer 11

so it would be a point digit?

Answer 12

(1, 5)

subtract 4 from x coordinate : 1-4 = -3
subtract 2 from y coordinate : 5-2 = 3

so the point (1, 5) moves to (-3, 3)

Answer 13

see if you can work remaining vertices similarly

Answer 14

i dont think i can go from here.

Answer 15

lets work another vertex

Answer 16

Yes

Answer 17

look at the diagram

what are the coordinates of point B ?

Answer 18

(0,1)

Answer 19

4,3?

Answer 20

very good try, but thats wrong.

you need to subtract instead of adding

Answer 21

4,1?

Answer 22

(0, 1)

0-4 = -4
1-2 = -1

so it moves to (-4, 1)

Answer 23

right :)

Answer 24

im pretty sure you can work point C now

Answer 25

give it a try

Answer 26

2,3

Answer 27

C = (6, 1)

6-4 = 2
1-2 = -1

so it has to move to (2, -1)

yes ?

Answer 28

yes i made a mistake

Answer 29

what about point D

Answer 30

1,2

Answer 31

5-4=1
2-5=3

Answer 32

1,3

Answer 33

Perfect!


D = (5, 5)

5-4 = 1
5-2 = 3

so it goes to (1, 3)

Answer 34

you are a excellent explainer thank you for helping me with this question :).

Answer 35

no, you're an excellent learner yw :)
