Question

The image of the point (-2,-5) under a translation is (0, -8). Find the
coordinates of the image of the point (-7,9) under the same translation.

Answer 1

Answer:

(- 5, 6 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(- 2, - 5 ) → (0, - 8 )

This indicates  2 has been added to the x- coordinate and 3 has been subtracted from the y- coordinate, thus the translation rule is

(x, y ) → (x + 2, y - 3 ), hence

(- 7, 9 ) → (- 7 + 2, 9 - 3 ) → (- 5, 6 )
