Question
What will be the new position of the given point (0, 3) after translation of 3 units left and 11 units down?
- (3, 5)
- (3, - 5)
- (3, - 8)
- (8, 3)
The correct answer is: (3, - 8)
Given, the point is (0,3).
To find the new position after translation of 3 units left and 11 units down
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)
x = 0-3 = -3 and y = 3 - 11 = - 8
(x,y) = (-3,-8)
The new position after performing the given translation is (-3,-8).
