Question

John says the transformation rule (x, y) es002-1.jpg (x + 4, y + 7) can be used to describe the slide of the pre-image (4, 5) to the image (0, –2). What was his error?

Answer 1

You must properly post the picture. It would greatly help us to help you if you did.

Answer 2

their is no picture its just the question

Answer 3

Oh okay, its just within your question it shows a jpg.

Answer 4

Do you have any ideas on how to solve the problem?

Answer 5

nope i got the rest right but idk how to do this one

Answer 6

It think you can assume the image is a right arrow (correct me if I’m wrong though)

So the translation (x+4, y+7) you have to add those values to the x and y values respectively

If you add 4 to 4 you get 8

If you add 4 to 7 you get 11

You would get the point (8,11)

Not (0,-2)

Answer 7

Adding to Dude, can you see what specific error he made?

Answer 8

no its ask me what is his error but i don't see one

Answer 9

Well Dude described that adding 4 to the x coordinate gives you 8 and not 0, adding 7 to the y coordinate does not give you -2

Answer 10

Answer 11

Your welcome, thank you @dude
