To find: The equation of the translated line.

Answer to Problem 31HP
The equation of the translated line is y=mx−am+2b .
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given information is a line y=mx+b is translated using the
Calculation:
We are given the line:
y=mx+b
The translation moves each point (x,y) of the line in the point (x+a,y+b) :
y=00=mx+bx=−bm
x=0y=m×0+by=bx=−bm
A(0,b)B(−bm,0)
We determine the x and y intercepts of the original line:
A(0,b)→A'(0+a,b+b)=(a,2b)B(−bm,0)→B'(−bm+a,0+b)=(a−bm,b)
We use the points A , and B' to determine the equation of the line's translation:
m'=2b−ba−(a−bm)=bbm=m
y−yA'=m'(x−xA')y−2b=(x−a)y=mx−am+2b
The x and y intercepts of the line’s translation are:
x=0y=m×0−am+2b=2b−am
y=00=m×x−am+2bx=a−2bm
Therefore, the equation of the translated line is y=mx−am+2b .
