To translate a shape two units to the left, we need to subtract 2 from the x-coordinates of each vertex of the shape.
Given the coordinates of rectangle MNPQ:
M (-3, 3), N (6, 3), P (6, -2), and Q (-3, -2)
To translate the rectangle two units to the left, we subtract 2 from the x-coordinates:
M (-3 - 2, 3), N (6 - 2, 3), P (6 - 2, -2), and Q (-3 - 2, -2)
Simplifying the coordinates, we get:
M (-5, 3), N (4, 3), P (4, -2), and Q (-5, -2)
The matrix addition required to perform this translation is:
| -5 | | -3 | | -2 |
| 3 | + | 3 | = | 3 |
| 1 | | -2 | | -4 |
| -2 | | -2 | | -4 |
Therefore, the matrix addition that would translate rectangle MNPQ two units to the left is:
|-5 -3|
| 3 3 |
| 1 -2 |
|-2 -2 |
