Question

Polygon ABCD is translated to create polygon A′B′C′D′. Point A is located at (1, 5), and point A′ is located at (-2, 3). Which expression defines the transformation of any point (x, y) to (x′, y′) on the polygons?

A. x′ = x − 3
y′ = y − 2


B. x′ = x − 2
y′ = y − 3


C. x′ = x − 1
y′ = y − 8


D. x = x′ + 3
y = y′ + 2

Answer 1

It's A but I want to know how.

Answer 3

It says "Each point in the preimage shifts 3 units left and 2 units down."

Answer 4

Another way in which to ask this question: How do you get from (1,5) to (-2,3)?

Answer 5

Does that mean like, if I were to put this on a graph, and move point A down 2 times and to the left 3 times, I'd get point A'?

Answer 6

Right?

Answer 7

Your 2nd response is correct; your first one is not. Glad you caught that. By the way, I'd suggest you omit your "sine x/y" or "since x/y." What were you trying to say there?

Answer 8

I meant, because I said to move it down and the over (which is y,x; which is wrong), I corrected myself
I mean to put x,y not x/y

Answer 9

My bad

Answer 10

Let's continue with the question at hand. Actally, please omit that "since x,y.)

Answer 11

I did :P

Answer 12

Which of the answer choices seems correct to you?
