Math Problem Statement

XY is a translation of XY'. Write the translation rule.

Solution

To write the translation rule for XYXY\overline{XY} \rightarrow \overline{X'Y'}, let's first determine the coordinates of points XX, YY, XX', and YY'.

  • XX is at (2,1)(-2, -1)
  • YY is at (1,3)(-1, -3)
  • XX' is at (8,4)(8, 4)
  • YY' is at (9,2)(9, 2)

Now, let's calculate the translation by finding the differences in the coordinates between the original and translated points:

  1. Translation from XX to XX': Δx=8(2)=10,Δy=4(1)=5\Delta x = 8 - (-2) = 10, \quad \Delta y = 4 - (-1) = 5

  2. Translation from YY to YY': Δx=9(1)=10,Δy=2(3)=5\Delta x = 9 - (-1) = 10, \quad \Delta y = 2 - (-3) = 5

Both points are translated by the same amount, so the translation rule is: (x,y)(x+10,y+5)(x, y) \rightarrow (x + 10, y + 5)

This is the translation rule for the transformation.
