Question

square rstu is a translation of square rstu. write the translation rule. (x, y)→(x - □, y - □)

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze x - coordinate change

Take a point, say \(S(2,5)\) and its image \(S'(- 6,-4)\). The change in the x - coordinate is \(\Delta x=-6 - 2=-8\).

Step2: Analyze y - coordinate change

The change in the y - coordinate of point \(S\) is \(\Delta y=-4 - 5=-9\).

Answer:

\((x,y)\to(x - 8,y - 9)\)
