Math Problem Statement
The image of the point left parenthesis, 2, comma, minus, 9, right parenthesis(2,−9) under a translation is left parenthesis, 4, comma, minus, 14, right parenthesis(4,−14). Find the coordinates of the image of the point left parenthesis, 5, comma, 6, right parenthesis(5,6) under the same translation
Solution
To solve this, we first need to determine the translation rule from the given information. We know that the point translates to .
Step 1: Determine the translation vector.
The translation vector is the change in the coordinates from the original point to the new point:
- Change in x-coordinate:
- Change in y-coordinate:
So, the translation vector is .
Step 2: Apply the translation to the point .
Now, we'll apply the same translation vector to the point :
- New x-coordinate:
- New y-coordinate:
Final Answer:
The image of the point under the same translation is .
