Question

a translation is following this rule (x,y)----->(x - 8,y - 2). if an original point on the object was located at (1,-2). what is the x - coordinate of the translated point?

Explanation:

Step1: Identificar la regla de traducción para la coordenada x

La regla es $x \to x - 8$.

Step2: Sustituir el valor original de x

El valor original de $x$ es $1$. Entonces, $1-8$.

Step3: Calcular el resultado

$1 - 8=-7$.

Answer:

$-7$
