Math Problem Statement

Translate the point (5, 9) by the vector ⟨-8, 2⟩.

Solution

The expression in the image shows a translation of the point (5,9)(5,9) by the vector 8,2\langle -8,2 \rangle. A translation moves a point by adding the vector's components to the point's coordinates.

In this case, we have:

T8,2(5,9)T_{\langle -8, 2 \rangle}(5, 9)

To perform the translation:

  • For the x-coordinate: 5+(8)=58=35 + (-8) = 5 - 8 = -3
  • For the y-coordinate: 9+2=119 + 2 = 11

Thus, the translated point is:

(3,11)(-3, 11)

Here are five related questions:

  1. What is the general formula for translating a point by a vector?
  2. How does translation differ from rotation in transformations?
  3. Can you describe the result of translating a point by the vector a,b\langle a, b \rangle?
  4. How would the point (x,y)(x, y) be affected by translating with a negative vector?
  5. How are translations applied to geometric shapes?

Tip: When translating points, remember to always add the vector components directly to the point's coordinates!
