Question

The point A(–1, 4) is translated five units right and three units down. Which rule describes the translation?

(x,y) --> (x+5,y+3)
(x,y) --> (x+5,y-3)
(x,y) --> (x+3,y+5)
(x,y) --> (x-3,y+5)

Answer 2

Answer: SECOND OPTION.

Explanation:

Given the following point identified as "A":

`A(-1,4)`

You can identify that the x-coordinate of the point is:

`x=-1`

And its y-coordinate is:

`y=4`

According to the exercise, this point is translated five units right and three units down. This means that, in order to find the new coordinates, you need to add 5 to the original x-coordinate and subtract 3 from the original y-coordinate.

Therefore, you can conclude that the rule that best describe the translation of the point
`A(-1,4)` is the following:

`(x,y)` →
`(x+5,y-3)`

Then, the point translated is:

`A'(-1+5,\ 4-3)` →
`A'(4,1)`
