Math Problem Statement

What vector translates point A onto point A'?

Solution

To find the vector that translates point AA to AA', we need to determine the difference in coordinates between these two points.

  1. From the graph:

    • The coordinates of point AA are (1,6)(-1, 6).
    • The coordinates of point AA' are (5,9)(5, 9).
  2. The translation vector is the difference between the coordinates of AA' and AA: Vector=AA=(5(1),96)=(6,3).\text{Vector} = A' - A = (5 - (-1), 9 - 6) = (6, 3).

Thus, the vector that translates point AA to point AA' is v=(6,3)\mathbf{v} = (6, 3).

Tip: When dealing with translations, always subtract the coordinates of the original point from the coordinates of the new point to find the vector.
