Math Problem Statement
Point P' (1,5) is the image of P(-3,1) under a translation Determine the translation Use non-negative numbers
Solution
To determine the translation from point to its image , we will calculate the horizontal and vertical shifts.
-
Horizontal Translation:
From to , the point moved 4 units to the right. -
Vertical Translation:
From to , the point moved 4 units up.
Thus, the translation is:
- 4 units to the right,
- 4 units up.

Here are some related questions for further practice:
- How would you describe a translation where the point moves left and down?
- If the point is the image of , what is the translation?
- What is the reverse translation from back to ?
- If a point does not change after translation, what does that imply about the transformation?
- How would you apply a translation to a geometric figure with multiple points?
Tip: Translations are rigid motions, which means the shape and size of geometric figures do not change, only their position.
