Question

Demonstrate the translation of a line segment of 3 units to the left and 5 units down if the endpoints of the line segment are (−2, 7)
and (0, 3)
.(1 point)

Answer 1

Translation vector = (−3, −5) (3 left, 5 down).

Apply to each endpoint:
- (−2, 7) → (−2 − 3, 7 − 5) = (−5, 2)
- (0, 3) → (0 − 3, 3 − 5) = (−3, −2)

So the translated segment has endpoints (−5, 2) and (−3, −2).
