Line segment AB with endpoints A (5, 8) and B (7, 8) is translated 2 units down and 2
units left. Identify the coordinates of the endpoints of the translated line segment?

Respuesta :

A coordinate system in geometry is a system that employs one or more integers, or coordinates, to define the position of objects. The coordinates of the translated line segment will be A' (3,6) and B' (5,6).

What are coordinates?

A coordinate system in geometry is a system that employs one or more integers, or coordinates, to define the position of points or other geometric components on a manifold such as Euclidean space.


Since AB is a line segment the changes will occur on both the coordinates, therefore, if the line segment is translated 2 units down and 2 units left, the coordinates will be,

A = (5,8) → 2 units down ⇒ (5, 8-2) → 2 units left ⇒ (5-2, 8-2) = (3, 6)

B = (7,8) → 2 units down ⇒ (7, 8-2) → 2 units left ⇒ (7-2, 8-2) = (5, 6)

Hence, the coordinates of the translated line segment will be A' (3,6) and B' (5,6).
