Question

The image of the point (-1, -3) under a translation is (-4,-2). Find thecoordinates of the image of the point (3,1) under the same translation.Submit Answer

Answer 1

The first thing is to calculate the change (translation) that was made at the beginning:

x-axis:

$\begin{gathered} x-1=-4 \\ x=-4+1 \\ x=-3 \end{gathered}$

y-axis:

$\begin{gathered} x-3=-2 \\ x=-2+3 \\ x=1 \end{gathered}$

Now lets's apply this translation to the point (3,1):

$(3-3,1+1)=(0,2)$

Therefore, the result is the point (0,2)
