Question

A point has coordinates A(-3, 5). Find the coordinates of its image if it's translated by (x - 2, y + 1).

Answer 1

The x-2 means that the new x-coordinate is 2 less than the original x-coordinate, so -3 - 2 or -5.

The y + 1 means that the new y-coordinate is 1 more than the original y-coordinate, so 5 + 1 = 6.

The new coordinates are (-5,6)

Answer 2

(-5, 6)

Explanation:

We are given the coordinates of a point
`A (-3, 5)`.

Given that the point A is translated by
`( x - 2 , y + 1 )`, we are to find the coordinates of its image.

For this, we will subtract -2 from the x coordinate of A and add 1 to the y coordinate of A to get:

`x : - 3 - 2 = -5`

`y = 5 + 1 = 6`

So the coordinates of A's image will be (-5, 6).
