Question

At the halftime show, a marching band marched in formation. The lead drummer started at a point with coordinates (–2, –5) and moved 3 steps up and 1 step right.

a. Write a rule to describe the translation.
b. What were the coordinates of the drummer's final position? (3 points)

Answer 1

a) The answer is: (x + a, y + b)
b) The answer is: (-1, -2)
The initial coordinates are:
(x, y) = (-2, -5)

Let's find a and b.
a is a distance in x direction: a = 1
b is a distance in y direction: b = 3

The final position is:
(x + a, y + b) = (-2 + 1, -5 + 3) = (-1, -2)

Answer 2

Answer:

a) The answer is: (x + a, y + b)

b) The answer is: (-1, -2)

The initial coordinates are:

(x, y) = (-2, -5)

should be the answer.

Let's find a and b.

a is a distance in x direction: a = 1

b is a distance in y direction: b = 3

The final position is:

(x + a, y + b) = (-2 + 1, -5 + 3) = (-1, -2)
