Translate the line segment with endpoints (0, 0)

and (5, 4)
up 3 units and left 2 units. What are the new endpoints?

1 answer

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 \((3, 7)\).
