Question from Jude: M(3,-2) is the image of the point M under a translation by the vector (-5,2). Find the coordinates of M |
Hi Jude,
The vector $(-5, 2)$ acts on the point $M$ in the plane by moving is 5 units to the left and 2 units upwards. The point $M$ is moved to $(3, -2).$
Where was $M$ before the vector acted on it?
Make sure you check your answer,
Penny
