Respuesta :

the x coordinates adds 3, so x coordinate of p' is  -5+3= -2

Answer:  The required x co-ordinate of point P' is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the point P(-5, 2) is translated using the following rule :

(x, y) ⇒ (x+3, y−1).

We are to find the x co-ordinate of image point P'.

After the translation (x, y) ⇒ (x+3, y−1), the co-ordinates of point P becomes

P(-5, 2)  ⇒  P'(-5+3, 2-1) = P'(-2, 1).

That is, the x co-ordinate is -2 and y co-ordinate is 1.

Thus, the required x co-ordinate of point P' is -2.
