Exercise 19 Page 460

Translations are done by adding or subtracting values from the x-coordinate if the figure is being moved left or right, and from the y-coordinate if the figure is being moved up or down.

G

Practice makes perfect

Let's start by considering the given point.

polygon

Translations are done by adding or subtracting values from the x-coordinate if the point is being moved left or right, and from the y-coordinate if the point is being moved up or down. We want to draw the image of our point after a translation 4 units left and 3 units up. Therefore, we will subtract 4 from the x-coordinate and add 3 to the y-coordinate of the point.

Coordinates of A (x-4,y+3) Coordinates of A'
A(- 1,2) (- 1 - 4,2 + 3) A'(- 5,5)
Let's do the translation!
translation
The coordinates of A in its new position are (- 5,5). Therefore, the correct option is G.
