Question

Describe the translation that occurred in the graph using coordinate notation.

Answer 1

To determine the translation performed, we consider the coordinates of points A and the image of A:

$(3,-1)\rightarrow(-3,1).$

Notice that:

$\begin{gathered} -3=3-6, \\ 1=-1+2. \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the rule of translation is:

$(x,y)\rightarrow(x-6,y+2).$

Answer:

1)

$(x,y)\operatorname{\rightarrow}(x-6,y+2).$

2)To avoid that kind of mistake you can count the number of "steps" vertically and horizontally.
