Math Problem Statement

Determine the coordinates after translation and identify the general translation rule.

Solution

From the image, here is a breakdown of the problem and solution provided:

Part 1 of 3 (Translation Coordinates)

The task here was to fill in the coordinates of points DD, EE, and FF after they have undergone a translation. The given translation rule applied to the points seems to result in:

  • Point D: Originally at (4,5)(-4, -5) translated to (2,4)(2, 4).
  • Point E: Originally at (7,4)(-7, -4) translated to (1,5)(-1, 5).
  • Point F: Originally at (8,1)(-8, -1) translated to (2,8)(-2, 8).

These translations match the "Correct Answer" provided in the image.

Part 2 of 3 (Translation Rule)

The task is to write a general rule for this translation in the form (x,y)(x+a,y+b)(x, y) \to (x + a, y + b), where aa and bb represent the shift in the xx- and yy-coordinates, respectively.

Observing the translations:

  • For DD: 42-4 \to 2 and 54-5 \to 4. This implies an xx-shift of +6+6 and a yy-shift of +9+9.
  • For EE: 71-7 \to -1 and 45-4 \to 5, confirming the xx-shift of +6+6 and yy-shift of +9+9.
  • For FF: 82-8 \to -2 and 18-1 \to 8, also confirming the xx-shift of +6+6 and yy-shift of +9+9.

So, the general translation rule is: (x,y)(x+6,y+9)(x, y) \to (x + 6, y + 9)

This would be the correct selection from the options provided.

Tip: When solving transformations, always compare each coordinate shift individually to ensure accuracy in determining the translation vector.
