Math Problem Statement

What will be the coordinates of B' after translating point B by 5 units to the right and 1 unit up?

Solution

To solve this problem, let's first identify the coordinates of point BB on the graph and then apply the given translation.

  1. Identify the coordinates of point BB: From the graph, point BB is located at (3,6)(-3, -6).

  2. Apply the translation: The translation is given as "5 units right and 1 unit up":

    • Moving 5 units to the right means adding 5 to the x-coordinate: 3+5=2-3 + 5 = 2
    • Moving 1 unit up means adding 1 to the y-coordinate: 6+1=5-6 + 1 = -5
  3. Find the new coordinates: After applying the translation, the new coordinates of BB' will be (2,5)(2, -5).

  4. Answer: The correct option is: (2,5)(2, -5)

Tip: When performing translations, remember that moving "right" increases the x-coordinate, and moving "up" increases the y-coordinate.
