You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I suspect that \"T: (x, y) (x - 5, y + 3)\" means
\n" ); document.write( "transform whatever ordered pair (x,y) you are given into the pair (x - 5, y + 3).
\n" ); document.write( "in other words,
\n" ); document.write( "add $\"-5\"$ (maybe you would say subtract 3) to the first number in the pair, and
\n" ); document.write( "add $\"3\"$ to the second number.
\n" ); document.write( "With $\"A%282%2C-1%29\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( "you change the first number from $\"2\"$ to $\"2-5=-3\"$ , and
\n" ); document.write( "you change the second number from $\"-1\"$ to $\"-1%2B3=2\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( "so you end up with $\"P%28-3%2C2%29\"$ as the image of $\"A%282%2C-1%29\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Imagine a game where you are told to start at point $\"A%282%2C-1%29\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( "2 blocks East, and 1 block South of the main intersection of the town.
\n" ); document.write( "When you arrive there, you find a message that says \"T: (x, y) (x - 5, y + 3),
\n" ); document.write( "move 5 blocks West and 3 blocks North.\"
\n" ); document.write( "
