Write the translation in vector component form. 4 units to the right.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Suppose you have a point (x, y)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Translate it to right by 4 units. Can you guess its coordinates?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

give it a try

OpenStudy (mary1999):

i thought it would be (4,0)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Good try But not quite

OpenStudy (mary1999):

4 to the right is the x right?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Its easy though. We just need to add 4 to the x : \[(\color{red}{x},y)\longrightarrow (\color{red}{x+4},y)\]

OpenStudy (mary1999):

That is what I had but it told me I was wrong

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Oh then your first answer must be correct

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Try your answer (4, 0)

OpenStudy (mary1999):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Hmm I'm not getting any ideas

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

What else could it be

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Let's tag few others

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

@zepdrix

OpenStudy (mary1999):

Maybe i'm using (4,0) are the brackets wrong for vector? Do you use something different?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Ahh nice idea Try <4, 0>

OpenStudy (mary1999):

Thats it!

OpenStudy (mary1999):
