Question

the figure below has a point marked with a large dot. first, translate the figure 8 units to the right. then, give the coordinates of the marked point in the original figure and the final figure.

Explanation:

Step1: Find original coordinates

The marked point in the original figure: From the graph, the x - coordinate (horizontal) and y - coordinate (vertical). Looking at the grid, the marked point has an x - coordinate of 8? Wait, no, wait. Wait, the axes: Wait, the original point's coordinates. Wait, in the graph, the marked point: let's check the axes. Wait, the x - axis and y - axis. Wait, the original point: looking at the grid, the x - coordinate (horizontal) and y - coordinate (vertical). Wait, the original point: let's see, the x is 8? No, wait, maybe I misread. Wait, the original point: let's check the coordinates. Wait, the original point: from the graph, the x - coordinate (horizontal) and y - coordinate (vertical). Wait, the original point: let's see, the x is 8? No, wait, the y - axis is vertical. Wait, the original point: let's check the coordinates. Wait, the original point: x = 8? No, wait, the x - axis is horizontal. Wait, the original point: let's see, the x - coordinate (horizontal) and y - coordinate (vertical). Wait, the original point: (8, 0)? Wait, no, the y - coordinate: looking at the graph, the marked point is at (8, 0)? Wait, no, wait, the y - axis: the vertical axis. Wait, the original point: let's check the coordinates. Wait, the original point: x = 8, y = 0? Wait, no, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the original point: let's see, the x - coordinate (horizontal) and y - coordinate (vertical). Wait, the original point: (8, 0)? Wait, no, the y - axis: the vertical line. Wait, the original point: let's check the coordinates. Wait, the original point: x = 8, y = 0? Wait, no, maybe the original point is (8, 0). Then, translating 8 units to the right: the translation rule for horizontal (x - axis) is adding 8 to the x - coordinate. So original coordinates: (8, 0). After translation: x' = 8 + 8 = 16? Wait, no, that can't be. Wait, maybe the original x - coordinate is 0? Wait, no, the graph: let's re - examine. Wait, the original point: looking at the grid, the x - coordinate (horizontal) and y - coordinate (vertical). Wait, the original point: x = 8, y = 0? Wait, no, the x - axis is horizontal, so moving right increases x. Wait, maybe the original x - coordinate is 8? No, that would make the translated x = 16, which seems too big. Wait, maybe I misread the axes. Wait, the original point: let's check the coordinates. Wait, the original point: (8, 0) in the original, then after translating 8 units right, x becomes 8 + 8 = 16, y remains 0. But that seems odd. Wait, maybe the original x - coordinate is 0? No, the graph: let's see, the original point is at (8, 0). Wait, maybe the problem is that the original x - coordinate is 8, y = 0. Then translated 8 units right: (8 + 8, 0)=(16, 0). But that seems too far. Wait, maybe the original x - coordinate is 0? No, the graph shows the original point at x = 8. Wait, maybe the grid is different. Wait, perhaps the original coordinates are (8, 0) for the marked point. Then after translation 8 units right, the new coordinates are (8 + 8, 0)=(16, 0). But maybe I made a mistake. Wait, let's start over.

Step1: Determine original coordinates

Looking at the graph, the marked point: the x - coordinate (horizontal) and y - coordinate (vertical). The original point has an x - coordinate of 8 and y - coordinate of 0 (since it's on the x - axis, y = 0). So original coordinates: (8, 0).

Step2: Apply translation

To translate a point \((x,y)\) \(a\) units to the right, the new \(x\) - coordinate is \(x + a\) and the \(y\) - coordinate remains the same. Here, \(a = 8\), \(x = 8\), \(y = 0\). So new \(x\) - coordinate: \(8+8 = 16\), new \(y\) - coordinate: \(0\). So translated coordinates: \((16,0)\).

Wait, but that seems like a large x - coordinate. Maybe I misread the original x - coordinate. Wait, maybe the original x - coordinate is 0? No, the graph shows the original point at x = 8. Wait, maybe the original coordinates are (8, 0) and translated to (16, 0).

Answer:

Original coordinates: \((8,0)\), Translated coordinates: \((16,0)\)
