To calculate the new coordinates of the house after the flood, we start with the initial coordinates and apply the transformation based on the given movement:
- The flood moves the house 4 blocks to the left and 2 blocks down.
In terms of coordinates:
- Moving left decreases the x-coordinate (subtracting from x).
- Moving down decreases the y-coordinate (subtracting from y).
Transformation Calculation
-
Let’s take an example coordinate A(2, 2).
- Apply the transformation:
New x = 2 - 4 = -2
New y = 2 - 2 = 0 - So, A’s new coordinates would be (-2, 0).
- Apply the transformation:
-
If we look at coordinate B(4, 2):
- Apply the transformation:
New x = 4 - 4 = 0
New y = 2 - 2 = 0 - So, B’s new coordinates would be (0, 0).
- Apply the transformation:
-
For coordinate C(0, 2):
- Apply the transformation:
New x = 0 - 4 = -4
New y = 2 - 2 = 0 - So, C’s new coordinates would be (-4, 0).
- Apply the transformation:
-
Looking at coordinate D(-2, 3):
- Apply the transformation:
New x = -2 - 4 = -6
New y = 3 - 2 = 1 - So, D’s new coordinates would be (-6, 1).
- Apply the transformation:
-
For coordinate E(-2, 2):
- Apply the transformation:
New x = -2 - 4 = -6
New y = 2 - 2 = 0 - So, E’s new coordinates would be (-6, 0).
- Apply the transformation:
Summary of New Coordinates
- A => (-2, 0)
- B => (0, 0)
- C => (-4, 0)
- D => (-6, 1)
- E => (-6, 0)
Correct Response Based on the Options
Based on the calculated results:
The correct response from the provided options would be: New coordinates are A(-2, 0), B(0, 2), C(0, 2), D(-1, 3), E(-2, 2), but looking closely it seems this answer doesn't match our analysis. If none of the provided answer choices exactly aligns with what we've calculated based on coordinates except for A(-2, 0), this could indicate an error in given options or calculations.
Question 3: Describe the Formal Transformation
The formal transformation that occurred when the flood moved the house can be described as a translation, specifically a translation to the left by 4 units along the x-axis and downward by 2 units along the y-axis.
- Translation Vector: The transformation can be represented as a vector \( T(x, y) = (x - 4, y - 2) \).
- Effect: This transformation shifts the original position of each point representing the house’s coordinates by a uniform amount in both the horizontal and vertical directions, resulting in a new coordinate system that reflects the house's new location after the flood.
