At the half time show a marching band marched in formation the lead drummer started at a point with coordinates (-3, -5) and moved 3 steps up and 1 step right. I have to write a rule to describe the translation and figure out the coordinates of the drummers final position
The coordinates would be (-1, -2) right? I need help with the “write a rule to describe the translation” can someone plz ezplain
(x,y) -> (x+1,y+3)
P1(-3, -5), P2(x, y).
x = -3 + 1 = -2.
y = -5 + 3 = -2.
Oops i meant (-2, -5)
To write a rule describing the translation of the drummer's movement, you can use a combination of words and symbols.
The drummer started at the point (-3, -5) and moved 3 steps up and 1 step right.
We can describe the translation rule as follows:
1. Let (x, y) be the initial position of the lead drummer.
2. To move 3 steps up, we add 3 to the y-coordinate: (x, y + 3).
3. To move 1 step right, we add 1 to the x-coordinate: (x + 1, y + 3).
Therefore, the rule for the translation is:
(x, y) → (x + 1, y + 3)
Using this rule, we can apply it to the initial position (-3, -5) to find the final position:
(-3, -5) → (-3 + 1, -5 + 3) = (-2, -2)
So, the correct coordinates of the drummer's final position would be (-2, -2), not (-1, -2) as you mentioned.
