Example Question #103 : Hi Set: High School Equivalency Test: Math
Translate the graph of the equation

None of the other choices gives the correct response.
If the graph of an equation is translated to the right units, and upward units, the equation of the image can be found by replacing with and with in the equation of the original graph.
Since we are moving the graph of the equation
left three units and down five units, we set and ; we can therefore replace with , or , and with , or . The equation of the image can be written as
We can simplify the expression on the right by distributing:
Collect like terms:
Subtract 5 from both sides:
,

Substitute the coordinates of and to find that midpoint of is located at
, or .
To perform the translation , or, equivalently,
,
on a point, it is necessary to add

Example Question #1 : Rotations
What is the result of rotating the point about the origin in the plane by ?
Rotating a point
geometrically in the plane about the origin is equivalent to negating the coordinates of the point algebraically to obtain
.
Thus, since our initial point was

Examine the figures in the above diagram. Figure 2 is the result of performing which of the following transformations on Figure 1?
The diagram below superimposes the two figures:
The transformation moves the black diagonal to the position of the red diagonal, and, consequently, points and to points and , respectively. This constitutes two-tenths of a complete turn clockwise, or a clockwise rotation of
