Given:
Point A ( 5, 6)
Determine the coordinates of A prime when it is translated 3 units left and 5 units up.
Explanation:
SInce we are already given the coordinates for Point A, translating the units simply mean moving by a specific number, hence we are given 3 units to the left. Left and Right translation affects the x-axis, while up and down affects the y-axis. 3 units to the left means we will subtract 3 units to 5, and 5 units up means we will add 5 units to 6.
x-coordinate = 5 - 3
x-coordinate = 2
y-coordinate = 5 + 5
y-coordinate = 10
Final answer:
The coordinates of A prime is ( 2, 10)
