Question
J’M’X’E’ is the image of JMXE after a translation. Write a rule for the translation.
- (x, y) à (x - 2, y + 3)
- (x, y) à (x + 2, y + 3)
- (x, y) à (x + 2, y - 3)
- (x, y) à (x - 2, y - 3)
The correct answer is: (x, y) à (x + 2, y + 3)
To find the rule of translation for the given figure.
On X-axis,
Positive translation means shifting to the right (x + h)
Negative translation means shifting to the left (x - h)
On Y-axis,
Positive translation means shifting vertically upward (y + k)
Negative translation means shifting vertically downward (y - k)
Here,
The figure is moved to the right on the x-axis, and the figure is moved upward on the y-axis.
Translation is 2 units right and 3 units up.
Rule: (x, y) à (x + 2, y + 3)
So, the rule of translation for the given figure is (x, y) à (x + 2, y + 3)
