Question

Translate the line segment with endpoints (0, 0)
and (5, 4)
up 3 units and left 2 units. What are the new endpoints?

Answer 1

To translate the line segment with endpoints \((0, 0)\) and \((5, 4)\) up 3 units and left 2 units, we need to adjust the coordinates of each endpoint accordingly.

1. **For the endpoint \((0, 0)\)**:
- Up 3 units: \(0 + 3 = 3\)
- Left 2 units: \(0 - 2 = -2\)
- New coordinates: \((-2, 3)\)

2. **For the endpoint \((5, 4)\)**:
- Up 3 units: \(4 + 3 = 7\)
- Left 2 units: \(5 - 2 = 3\)
- New coordinates: \((3, 7)\)

Thus, after the translation, the new endpoints of the line segment are \((-2, 3)\) and \((3, 7)\).
