The vertices of pentagon LMPQR are at L(4, -2), M(5, -2), P(8, -5), Q(6, -7), R(2, -4). The coordinates of the pentagon after two translations are L'(-5, -1), M'(-4, -1), P'(-1, -4), Q'(-3, -6), R'(-7, -3).

Question

How was LMPQR translated to create L'M'P'Q'R'?

To the left by 9 units and 1 unit up
To the right by 9 units and 1 unit up
To the left by 1 unit and 9 units up
To the right by 1 unit and 9 units up

Answer 1

compare any of the original points and it image point

e.g. L(4,-2) ----> L'(-5,-1)
didn't the x move 9 units to the left, and the y moved 1 unit up ?
mmmhhh?

test it for the other points
