At a halftime show marching band 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 are the corrdiates of the drummer's final position?

A. I'm not sure at all

B. (-2,-5)+3 steps up= (-5,1)
(-5,1)+ 1 step right= (-4,1)

I think B is right but I'm still not sure on A

3 answers

x = -2 + steps right
y = -5 + steps up

so
x = -2 + 1 = -1
y = -5 + 3 = -2

(-1 , -2)

Thank you

You are welcome.
