Solution by Steps
step 1
Identify the original coordinates of point QQ and the translated coordinates of point QQ'
step 2
Calculate the change in the xx-coordinate from QQ to QQ' by subtracting the xx-coordinate of QQ' from the xx-coordinate of QQ: 636 - 3
step 3
Calculate the change in the yy-coordinate from QQ to QQ' by subtracting the yy-coordinate of QQ' from the yy-coordinate of QQ: 424 - 2
step 4
Determine the direction of the translation for both xx and yy coordinates based on the signs of the changes calculated in steps 2 and 3
Answer
The translation is 3 units to the left and 2 units down.
Key Concept
Translation in the Coordinate Plane
Explanation
To find the translation that maps point QQ to point QQ', we subtract the coordinates of QQ' from the coordinates of QQ. The result gives us the magnitude and direction of the translation. A positive result indicates a translation to the right (for xx) or up (for yy), while a negative result indicates a translation to the left (for xx) or down (for yy). In this case, the translation is to the left and down because the changes in coordinates are negative.
