Math Problem Statement

Where is B' after the translation along the vector <-3, 3>?

Solution

In this problem, the point BB' represents the new position of point BB after the translation along the vector 3,3\langle -3, 3 \rangle.

Step-by-step process:

  1. Identify the original coordinates of point BB: From the graph, the point BB appears to be at (3,1)(3, 1).

  2. Apply the translation vector: The vector 3,3\langle -3, 3 \rangle means you move 3 units left (in the negative xx-direction) and 3 units up (in the positive yy-direction).

    B(x,y)=(xB3,yB+3)B'(x', y') = (x_B - 3, y_B + 3)

    Substituting B(3,1)B(3, 1):

    B(33,1+3)=B(0,4)B'(3 - 3, 1 + 3) = B'(0, 4)

Conclusion:

The coordinates of BB' after the translation are (0,4)(0, 4).

Here are 5 relative questions you could explore further:

  1. How would point AA move under the same translation vector?
  2. What would happen to the triangle formed by points AA, BB, and CC after the translation?
  3. How can you describe the change in the entire shape due to translation?
  4. How is translation different from rotation and reflection in geometry?
  5. If the vector were 2,3\langle 2, -3 \rangle, what would be the new coordinates of point BB'?

Tip: Translations do not change the size or shape of figures, only their position.
