Chapter 9.2, Problem 36STP

To determine

To find: The vector that best describes the translation.

Answer to Problem 36STP

The vector describes the translation is $\left(-5,-3\right)$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Given translation is

  $A\left(3,-5\right)$ to $A\text{'}\left(-2-8\right)$ .

Calculation:

To get from the point $\left(3,-5\right)$ to the point $\left(-2,-8\right)$ , should be translated five units to the left and the three units to the down.

So, the vector is

  $\left(-5,-3\right)$ .

Therefore, the vector describes the translation is $\left(-5,-3\right)$ .
