Exercise 18 Page 550

Count the units you move horizontally and vertically to get from a vertex of preimage to the corresponding vertex of the image.

T_(⟨- 4, - 3⟩)(x,y)

Practice makes perfect

To write a rule for the translation, it is enough to consider only one set of corresponding vertices. For this polygon, we will consider the upper left vertices. Let's count the number of units we move vertically and horizontally to map a point of the preimage to a point of the image.

We can see that we moved left 4 units and down 3 units to get from the preimage to the image. Now, remember that horizontal translations affect the x-coordinate and vertical translations affect the y-coordinate. Let's finally write a rule for the transformation. (x - 4,y - 3) → T_(⟨ - 4, - 3⟩)(x,y)
