Question

The image point of A after a translation left 2 units and down 5 units is the pointB(-8, -11). Determine the coordinates of the pre-image point A.Submit Answer

Answer 1

Let the coordinates of the pre-image which is point A be (x,y)

The point after the translation left 2 units and down 5 units is B(-8, -11)

To get the x coordinate

we were tolt that the point was move 2 units left

So this implies x = -8+2 = -6

To get the y coordinates, we wre told that the point was moved down 5 units

This implies y = -11+ 5 = -6

Therefore, the coordinates of the pre-image point A is (-6, -6)
