At the half-time show, a marching band marched in formation. The lead drummer started at a point with coordinates (-2, - 5) and moved 3 steps up and 1 step right.
a. Write a rule to describe the translation.
b. What were the coordinates of the drummer's final position?
a. The rule to describe the translation is: "Move 3 steps up and 1 step right."
b. The drummer's final position can be calculated by adding the number of steps moved to the initial coordinates. So, starting at (-2, -5), moving 3 steps up would change the y-coordinate to -5 + 3 = -2, and moving 1 step right would change the x-coordinate to -2 + 1 = -1. Therefore, the drummer's final position is (-1, -2).
