Question

A point is translated on the coordinate plane from (5,6)
to (3,6)
. Peter writes the function f(x)=x+h
to describe the translation. What is the value of h?

Answer 1

To find the value of h, we need to determine the difference between the x-coordinates of the two points, as that will give us the translation in the x-direction.

In this case, the x-coordinate is changing from 5 to 3. The difference between these two numbers is -2.

Therefore, the value of h is -2.
