Math Problem Statement
XY is a translation of XY'. Write the translation rule.
Solution
To write the translation rule for , let's first determine the coordinates of points , , , and .
- is at
- is at
- is at
- is at
Now, let's calculate the translation by finding the differences in the coordinates between the original and translated points:
-
Translation from to :
-
Translation from to :
Both points are translated by the same amount, so the translation rule is:
This is the translation rule for the transformation.
