Demonstrate the translation of a line segment of three units to the left and 5 units down if the endpoints of the line segment are minus 2, 7 and 0, 3 answers - 7, 4 and - 5, 0 one, two and three, - 2 5 - 5, 7 and - 3, 3 - 5, 2 and - 3, - 2

Answer 1

Starting with the line segment with endpoints (-2, 7) and (0, 3), we can translate it three units to the left and 5 units down by subtracting 3 from the x-coordinate of each point and subtracting 5 from the y-coordinate of each point:

(-2 - 3, 7 - 5) = (-5, 2) and (0 - 3, 3 - 5) = (-3, -2)

So the translated endpoints of the line segment are (-5, 2) and (-3, -2).
