The endpoints of a segment are (–5, –3) and (0, 2). What are the endpoints of the segment after it has been translated 4 units up? A. (–5, –7), (0, –2) b. (–5, 1), (0, 6) c. (–1, –3), (4, 2) d. (–1, 1), (4, 6)

Respuesta :

4 units up means 4 is added to the y-coordinate

  (-5, -3 + 4) and (0, 2 + 4)

= (-5, 1)         and (0, 6)

Answer: B

Answer:

b. [tex](-5,1)[/tex] and [tex](0,6)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the endpoints of a segment. We are asked to find the coordinates of endpoints of segment after it has been translated 4 units up.

We know that when a point is translated upwards by 'a' units, we need to add 'a' units to its y-coordinate.

To find the coordinates of segment after a translation of 4 units upwards, we will add 4 to y-coordinates of both points as:

[tex](-5,-3)\Rightarrow{-5,(-3+4)=(-5,1)[/tex]

[tex](0,2)\Rightarrow{0,(2+4)=(0,6)[/tex]

Therefore, the endpoints of the segment after translation would be [tex](-5,1)[/tex] and [tex](0,6)[/tex].
