Exercise 33 Page 550

Reverse the translation from PQ to P'Q'.

(x,y) → (x-m,y-n), see solution.

Practice makes perfect

Let's show an example of a translation of PQ to P'Q'. In this example, we will assume that m and n are positive numbers.

To perform a translation from the image to the preimage, P'Q' to PQ, we have to move in the opposite directions. Therefore, the translation will be down n units and left m units. This will undo the first translation.

Let's write the rule for translating P'Q' to PQ. (x,y) → (x - m,y - n)
