At a halftime show a matching band marched in formation. The lead drummer started at a point with coordinates (-2,-5) and moved 3 steps up and 1 step right.
A. Write a rule to describe the translation
B. What were the coordinates of the drummers final position?
A: Write a rule to describe the translation
(X+1) (Y + 3)
B:
His coordinates are
(-1,-2)
I don't like your notation.
how about this ?
(x,y) ----> (x+1 , y+3)
then
((-2,-5) ---> (-2+1 , -5+3) = (-1, -2)
your answer is correct, just clean up that notation a bit.
Is that how you were taught to write it ?
To write a rule to describe the translation, you need to understand how the lead drummer moved.
The lead drummer started at the point (-2,-5) and moved 3 steps up and 1 step right.
In coordinate notation, moving up means increasing the y-coordinate, and moving right means increasing the x-coordinate.
Therefore, the rule to describe the translation would be:
(X + 1) (Y + 3)
To find the coordinates of the drummer's final position, you can apply the translation rule to the starting point.
Starting with the coordinates (-2,-5), we can plug these values into the rule:
X = -2 + 1 = -1
Y = -5 + 3 = -2
Therefore, the drummer's final position is at coordinates (-1,-2).
So, the answer is:
B. The coordinates of the drummer's final position are (-1,-2).
