Question

demonstrate the translation of a line segment of three units left and five units down if the endpoints of the line segment are -27 and 03

Answer 1

To translate a line segment three units to the left and five units down, we need to subtract three from the x-coordinate and subtract five from the y-coordinate of each endpoint.

Given that the endpoints of the line segment are (-27, 0) and (0, 3), subtracting three from the x-coordinate and five from the y-coordinate of each point, we obtain:

Endpoint 1: (-27 - 3, 0 - 5) = (-30, -5)
Endpoint 2: (0 - 3, 3 - 5) = (-3, -2)

Therefore, the translated line segment with the new endpoints is (-30, -5) and (-3, -2).
