Question

Melissa needs to translate a figure six units to the right and two units down. Which of the following rules correctly represents that translation?

A. (x,y)→ (x-2,y+6)
B. (x,y)→ (x+2,y-6)
C. (x,y)→ (x-6,y+2)
D. (x,y)→ (x+6,y-2)

The line segment TU with endpoints T(2, 1) and U(-5, 6) is rotated 90 degrees ... Translate 2 units to the right and 8 units down ... Q. How is trapezoid ABCD translated to trapezoid A'B'C'D'? ... (x, y) → (x + 2, y + 2). (x ...

Answer 2

D. (x,y)→ (x+6,y-2)

Explanation:

A translation right or left is a change in x. Going right is a positive change in x. Going left is a negative change in x.

A translation up or down is a change in y. Going up is a positive change in y. Going down is a negative change in y.

6 units to the right means add 6 to x.

2 units down means add -2 to y, or subtract 2 from y.

The answer is: D. (x,y)→ (x+6,y-2)
