Question

square wxyz is a translation of square wxyz. write the translation rule.

Explanation:

Step1: Find the horizontal translation

Take a point, say \(W(-6,5)\) and \(W'(3,-2)\). The horizontal change (\(x\)-coordinate) is \(3-(-6)=9\). So it's a shift of \(9\) units to the right.

Step2: Find the vertical translation

The vertical change (\(y\)-coordinate) is \(-2 - 5=-7\). So it's a shift of \(7\) units down.

In translation rule \((x,y)\to(x + a,y + b)\), \(a = 9\) and \(b=-7\)

Answer:

\((x,y)\to(x + 9,y-7)\)
