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 (2,5)(-2, 5) 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. 2+3=1-2 + 3 = 1

  • Up 4 units means adding 4 to the y-coordinate. 5+4=95 + 4 = 9

So, the new coordinates after the translation are (1,9)(1, 9).

  3. How do you reflect a point across an axis?
  4. Can a translation change the size of a figure?
  5. How do you combine multiple transformations, like translation and reflection?

Tip: Translations always preserve the shape and size of a figure; they only change its position.
