Respuesta :

Using translations and proportions, it is found that:

  • To go from the Community Center to the Post Office, there is a translation of 2 units left and of 3 units down.
  • You will travel 0.18 miles.

Translations are modifications made to the function, when it is shifted up/down, or left/right.

In this problem, to go from the Community Center to the Post Office, there is a translation of 2 units left and of 3 units down.

The distance is the hypotenuse of a right triangle, in which the legs are 2 units and 3 units. Hence, the distance on the coordinate grid is found applying the Pythagorean Theorem:

[tex]d^2 = 2^2 + 3^2[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{13}[/tex]

[tex]d = 3.606[/tex]

Since each grid is 0.05 mile, in miles, the distance is:

[tex]d = 0.05(3.606) = 0.18[/tex]

You will travel 0.18 miles.
