Question

graph the image of q(-8, -4) after a translation 2 units right.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall translation rule

In a translation 2 units right, we add 2 to the x - coordinate of the point.
The original point is $Q(-8,-4)$. The x - coordinate is $x=-8$ and the y - coordinate is $y = - 4$.

Step2: Calculate new x - coordinate

The new x - coordinate is $x_{new}=-8 + 2=-6$. The y - coordinate remains the same, $y_{new}=-4$.
So the image of the point $Q(-8,-4)$ after a translation 2 units right is $Q'(-6,-4)$.

Answer:

The new point is $(-6,-4)$. To graph it, find the point where $x=-6$ and $y = - 4$ on the coordinate plane and mark it.
