Question 2 (1 point)
(02.01 HC)
Triangle JOY is translated using the rule $ (x, y) \to (x + 3, y - 2) $ to create triangle $ J' O' Y' $. If a line segment is drawn from point $ J $ to point $ J' $ and from point $ O $ to point $ O' $, which statement would best describe the line segments drawn?
a
They share the same midpoints.
b
They create diameters of concentric circles.
c
They are parallel and congruent.
d
They are perpendicular to each other.
1. **State the problem:**
Triangle $JOY$ is translated by the rule $$ (x, y) \to (x + 3, y - 2) $$ to form triangle $J'O'Y'$. We draw line segments from $J$ to $J'$ and from $O$ to $O'$. We need to determine which statement best describes these line segments.
2. **Understand the translation:**
The translation rule moves every point 3 units to the right and 2 units down.
3. **Analyze the line segments:**
- The segment from $J$ to $J'$ connects a point to its image after translation.
- Similarly, the segment from $O$ to $O'$ does the same.
4. **Properties of translation vectors:**
- The vector for both segments is the same: $$ \vec{v} = (3, -2) $$
- This means both segments have the same length and direction.
5. **Conclusion:**
- Since both segments have the same vector, they are parallel and congruent.
**Answer:** c
**Explanation:** The line segments from $J$ to $J'$ and from $O$ to $O'$ are parallel and congruent because they represent the same translation vector applied to different points.
