To find the equation of the new line after translating the original line \( y = 3x + 2 \) one unit to the right and two units up, we can follow these steps:
-
Translation to the right: After translating a line one unit to the right, the x-coordinate increases by 1. This means we substitute \( x \) with \( x - 1 \) in the equation. \[ y = 3(x - 1) + 2 \]
-
Simplifying the equation: \[ y = 3x - 3 + 2 = 3x - 1 \]
-
Translation upwards: Now we translate the line upwards by 2 units, which means we add 2 to the entire equation: \[ y = (3x - 1) + 2 = 3x + 1 \]
The resulting equation after both translations is: \[ y = 3x + 1 \]
Thus, the correct response is: y = 3x + 1.
