Math Problem Statement
What is the image point of left parenthesis, 3, comma, minus, 4, right parenthesis(3,−4) after a translation left 2 units and up 5 units?
Solution
To find the image point after a translation, you need to apply the translation to each coordinate of the original point.
The original point is .
-
Translation left 2 units: This means subtract 2 from the x-coordinate:
-
Translation up 5 units: This means add 5 to the y-coordinate:
So, the image point after the translation is .
