Question

Demonstrate the translation of a line segment of three units to the left, and five units down if the endpoint of the line segment are ((-2, 7) and (0, 3)

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To translate a line segment three units to the left, we subtract 3 from the x-coordinates of both endpoints. To translate the line segment five units down, we subtract 5 from the y-coordinates of both endpoints.

Given that the endpoints of the line segment are (-2, 7) and (0, 3), we perform the translation as follows:

Endpoint 1:
-2 - 3 = -5 (new x-coordinate)
7 - 5 = 2 (new y-coordinate)

Endpoint 2:
0 - 3 = -3 (new x-coordinate)
3 - 5 = -2 (new y-coordinate)

Therefore, the translated endpoints of the line segment are (-5, 2) and (-3, -2).
