Question

A graph is translated according to the following rule. Describe the translation.

(x, y) → (x, y – 3)



The graph is translated three units to the right.

The graph is translated three units to the left.

The graph is translated three units down.

The graph is translated three units up.

Answer 1

The graph is translated three units down.

Explanation:

We know that, a 'Translation' is an transformation where the figure or graph is shifted in any direction.

According to our question (x,y) becomes (x, y-3) , this means that the graph value of 'x' co-ordinate remains same and the value of 'y' co-ordinate is decreased by 3 units.

So, the graph is shifted three units downwards i.e. it is translated three units down.
