Q:

A triangle is drawn on the coordinate plane. It is translated 4 units right and 3 units down. Which rule describes the translation?

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:Answer: (x, y) β†’ (x + 4, y – 3)A translation is a geometric transformation which follows specific rules.A horizontal translation of a units transforms the coordinates (x, y) into:x' = x + ay' = ywhere, if a > 0 the translation is towards the right and if a < 0 the translation is towards the left.In our case a = +4A vertical translation of b units transforms the coordinates (x, y) into:x' = xy' = y + bwhere, if b > 0 the translation is upward and if b < 0 the translation is downward.In our case: b = -3Combining the two transformations:x' = x + 4y' = y - 3Hence, the correct answer is (x, y) β†’ (x + 4, y – 3)Step-by-step explanation:
