Exercise 2 Page 549

Add or subtract the necessary values to the x- and y-coordinates to find the new points.

Practice makes perfect

Let's begin by identifying the vertices of the given polygon.

We are asked to translate the given polygon using a translation written in function notation.

T_(⟨ - 3, - 4⟩)(x,y) This means we should subtract 3 from each x-coordinate and 4 from each y-coordinate of all of the vertices.

(x,y) (x- 3,y- 4) (x',y')
N(2,- 5) (2- 3,- 5- 4) N'(- 1,- 9)
I(2,2) (2- 3,2- 4) I'(- 1,- 2)
L(- 3,4) (- 3- 3,4- 4) L'(- 6,0)
E(- 3,- 3) (- 3- 3,- 3- 4) E'(- 6,- 7)

With these points, we are able to draw transformed polygon.
