Exercise 3 Page 545

In the graph, we see the image and the preimage of a transformation. The translation will be how many steps you will have to take from a point in the image to the preimage.

(x,y)→(x+4,y-1)

Practice makes perfect

In the graph, we see the image and the preimage of a transformation. We will look at the graph to see how we have to translate the triangle to get from â–³ A'B'C' to â–³ ABC.

To get from A' to A, we will first have take steps to the right and then down. Let's count how many!

To get from A' to A, we will have to take 4 steps to the right and 1 step down. This means adding 4 to the x-coordinate and subtracting 1 form the y-coordinate. (x,y)→(x+4,y-1)
