To find the resulting coordinates after applying the translation vector <2, -3> to the initial coordinates (-2, -5), we add the components of the translation vector to the corresponding components of the initial coordinates.
Starting coordinates: (-2, -5)
Translation vector: <2, -3>
Now we perform the addition:
-
For the x-coordinate:
\(-2 + 2 = 0\) -
For the y-coordinate:
\(-5 + (-3) = -5 - 3 = -8\)
So, the resulting coordinates after the translation are (0, -8).
The correct answer is:
(0,−8)
