If a point (x, y, z) is to be translated by an amount dx, dy and dz respectively, then what will be the value of the new translated points (x1, y1, z1)? a) x1 = x y1 = y z1 = z b) x1 = dx y1 = dy z1 = dz c) x1 = x + dx y1 = y + dy z1 = z + dz d) x1 = x – dx y1 = y – dy z1 = z – dz
Answer: c Explanation: If point (x, y, z) is to be translated by amount dx, dy and dz to a new location (x1, y1, z1) then new coordinates can be obtained by adding dx to x, dy to y and dz to z as: x1 = dx + x y1 = dy + y z1 = dz + z
