Math Problem Statement
Using the translation that maps (3,-4) to its image (1,0), what is the image of any point (x,y)?
A. (x+2,yβ4)(π₯+2,π¦β4)
B. (xβ2,yβ4)(π₯β2,π¦β4)
C. (xβ2,y+4)(π₯β2,π¦+4)
D. (x+2,y+4)
Solution
To determine the correct answer, we will revisit the steps to find the translation vector and how it is applied to any point .
Given that the point maps to the point , we first find the translation vector as follows:
This translation vector indicates that any point is translated by units in the -direction and units in the -direction. The translated point is given by:
Therefore, the image of any point under this translation is:
Comparing this result with the given options:
A.
B.
C.
D.
The correct answer is: C.
