Question

Hi guys, please help me!1 I am having a tough time understanding this equation. Best answer goes to the person who shows there work.
So... here is the equation...

At the half time show, a marching band marched in formation. The lead drummer started at the point, (-2,-5) and moved three steps up and one step right.

a. right a rule to describe the translation
b. what were the coordinates of the drummers final position?

Answer 1

I guess x is right and y is up

final x = initial x + change in x
final y = initial y + change in y

beginning x = -2
moves one right
-2 + 1 = -1

beginning y = -5
moves 3 up
-5 + 3 = -2

b) (-1 , -2)
