Question

point a(2, 3) is the image of a(3, - 4) under a translation. determine the translation. use non - negative numbers. a translation by units up/down < > units to the right/left < > and . determining translations related content 1:32 article

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze change in x - coordinate

The x - coordinate of point A changes from 3 to 2. The change in the x - coordinate $\Delta x=2 - 3=- 1$. Since we are looking for non - negative numbers for the translation, the number of units moved in the x - direction is 1 unit to the left.

Step2: Analyze change in y - coordinate

The y - coordinate of point A changes from - 4 to 3. The change in the y - coordinate $\Delta y=3-( - 4)=3 + 4 = 7$. So, it moves 7 units up.

Answer:

up/down: 7 units up
right/left: 1 unit left
