Question

The point (-2, 1) is translated 3 units down and 2 units to the left. What are the coordinates of the newpoint?Use the grid below if it helps.-65-43-214-4-3-2-1130-1--2-3-4-5-6(2,-4)o(-4,-2)(0, -4)(0,4)

Answer 1

Given that the point (-2, 1) is translated 3 units down and 2 units to left. The coordinate of the new point would follow the translation rule

$T(x,y)\to(x-2,y-3)$

Therefore, the coordinates of the new point following the translation rule are:

$\begin{gathered} T(-2,1)\to_{}(-2-2,1-3) \\ =(-4,-2) \end{gathered}$

The correct answer is (-4,-2)
