Question

Write a translation rule that maps point D(7,-3) onto point D'(2,5).

I though it told you left, right, up or down, how do I figure this out?

Answer 1

The translation rule is
T_(Δx,Δ)(x,y)->(x+Δx, y+Δy) .......... (1)

Now we need to find Δx and Δy.

We know that
7+Δx=2
-3+Δy=5

Solve for Δx and Δy and substitute in the transformation rule (1)
