Question

graph the image of r(8, -7) after a translation 8 units left.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall translation rule

A translation 8 units left means subtract 8 from the x - coordinate of the point. The y - coordinate remains the same.

Step2: Calculate new x - coordinate

The original point is \(R(8,-7)\). The new x - coordinate is \(x = 8-8=0\), and the y - coordinate \(y=-7\) remains unchanged.

Answer:

The image of the point \(R(8, - 7)\) after a translation 8 units left is \(R'(0,-7)\). To graph it, find the point \((0,-7)\) on the coordinate - plane, which is on the y - axis, 7 units below the origin.
