Question

Triangle ABC is translated using the rule (x, y) → (x + 2, y - 2). Which of the following describes the horizontal and vertical shift of triangle ABC?

translate right 2 units, up 2 units
translate left 2 units, up 2 units
translate right 2 units, down 2 units
translate left 2 units, down 2 units.

Answer 1

X controls the left and right movement of the point, while y controls the up and down.

x + 2 means that the new position of the point would be two spaces towards the right of the original point.

y - 2 means that the new position of the point would be two spaces lower than the original point.


Therefore, translate right 2 units, down 2 units, should be your answer


Hope this helps
