The translation vector is (-4,-1). If the image of C is C' (3,-1), find the coordinates of point C

Question

Translations

Answer 1

So C'(pronounced C prime) means that the transformation was already done. They want you to go backwards. Remember that a translation is just moving the image right, left, up, and or down. Here the translating is (-4,-1) meaning go left 4 units down 1. So, to get C the original image back we must go up 1 and to the right 4 units.

 

C=(3+4,-1+1)

 

So C(7,0)
