Chapter 4.4, Problem 9PSA

To determine

To calculate: New coordinates of P.

Answer to Problem 9PSA

(15, 3).

Explanation of Solution

Given information: coordinates of C, P and A.

Formula used: Graph shifting of points parallel to axes.

Calculation: since $\Delta PAC$ slides along x axis, hence there will be no change in y-coordinates of any point, moreover, x-coordinate of C increases by 6 units, hence x-coordinate of P and A also increases by the same quantity.

  $\therefore$ Coordinates of P are (9+6, 3), i.e. (15, 3).
