Question

Find the horizontal change and the vertical change for the translation P(4,-4) (-4,7)

Answer 1

To find the horizontal and vertical changes for the translation, we need to subtract the coordinates of the original point from the coordinates of the new point.

Horizontal change = x-coordinate of new point - x-coordinate of original point
= (-4) - 4
= -8

Vertical change = y-coordinate of new point - y-coordinate of original point
= 7 - (-4)
= 11

Therefore, the horizontal change is -8 and the vertical change is 11.
