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 by the vector . A translation moves a point by adding the vector's components to the point's coordinates.
In this case, we have:
To perform the translation:
- For the x-coordinate:
- For the y-coordinate:
Thus, the translated point is:
