Question

The transformation of triangle ABC is an example of what?

A) A dilation of 2.
B) Translation of (0, 8)
C) Translation of (0, -8)
D) A reflection across the y-axis

Answer 1

C. Because It moved down 8 so it would be -8 and then did not move eft or right so it would be a translation of (0, -8)

Answer 2

The correct option is C.

Explanation:

From the given figure it is clear that the vertices of triangle ABC are A(1,1), B(5,3) and C(2,6).

The vertices of triangle A'B'C' are A'(1,-7), B'(5,-5) and C'(2,-2).

The relation between preimage and image is defined by the rule

`(x,y)\rightarrow (x,y-8)`

It is the rule of translation. It means the figure ABC translate 8 units down.

The transformation of triangle ABC is an example of translation of (0, -8).

Therefore the correct option is C.
