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).
A. (-5, 2) and (-3, -2)
B. (-5, 7) and (-3, 3)
C. (1, 2) and (3, -2)
D. (-7, 4) and (-5, 0)

Answer 1

Translate by (-3, -5): subtract 3 from x and 5 from y.

(-2, 7) → (-2−3, 7−5) = (-5, 2)
(0, 3) → (0−3, 3−5) = (-3, -2)

Answer: A. (-5, 2) and (-3, -2)
