Math Problem Statement
Solution
To determine the rule of the transformation from figure 1 to figure 2, we can follow these steps:
1. Analyze the translation
A translation moves a figure horizontally and/or vertically without changing its shape or orientation.
- From the graph:
- Figure 1 (on the left) is moved to Figure 2 (on the right).
- To determine the translation rule, pick a vertex (corner) from figure 1 and identify where it moves in figure 2.
2. Track the movement of a point
Let’s choose a specific vertex of the triangle in figure 1:
- Pick the point at (-5, 1) in figure 1.
- This vertex has been translated to the point (3, -3) in figure 2.
3. Find the horizontal and vertical shifts
To determine the translation rule:
-
Horizontal movement (x-direction):
From to :
-
Vertical movement (y-direction):
From to :
4. Write the transformation rule
The transformation can be described as:
Thus, the boxes to fill in are:
(x + 8, y - 4).
