Math Problem Statement
What is the image point of left parenthesis, minus, 2, comma, 5, right parenthesis(−2,5) after a translation right 3 units and up 4 units?
Solution
To find the image point of after translating it 3 units to the right and 4 units up, we adjust the coordinates accordingly:
-
Right 3 units means adding 3 to the x-coordinate.
-
Up 4 units means adding 4 to the y-coordinate.
So, the new coordinates after the translation are .
