How to Write Linear Equation After Translation?
`1`. Understand the Original Equation: Begin with the standard form of a linear equation: `y = mx + b`, where `m` is the slope and `b` is the `y`-intercept.
`2`. Horizontal Translation:
- If translating horizontally by `h`, replace `x` with `x - h` in the equation.
- The equation becomes `y = m(x - h) + b`.
`3`. Vertical Translation:
- If translating vertically by `k`, add `k` to the right-hand side of the equation.
- The equation becomes `y = mx + (b + k)`.
`4`. Combine Translations:
- If both horizontal and vertical translations are needed, apply both adjustments to the original equation.
- For horizontal translation by `h` and vertical translation by `k`, the equation is `y = m(x - h) + (b + k)`.
`5`. Simplify (if possible):
- Simplify the equation by distributing `m` through the parentheses and combining like terms.
`6`. Verify:
- Ensure the translated equation accurately reflects the desired shift on the coordinate plane.
