Exercise 14 Page 550

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_(⟨ 5, - 1⟩)(x,y) This means we should add 5 to each x-coordinate and subtract 1 to each y-coordinate of all of the vertices.

(x,y) (x+ 5,y- 1) (x',y')
(- 1,2) (- 1+ 5,2- 1) (4,1)
(5,- 1) (5+ 5,- 1- 1) (10,- 2)
(2,- 4) (2+ 5,- 4- 1) (7,- 5)
(- 4,- 1) (- 4+ 5,- 1- 1) (1,- 2)

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