Question

Which rule describes a translation that is 8 units to the right and 2 units up?

Answer 1

The answer is

x, y (x + 8, y + 2)

Answer 2

we know that

when we speak of right or left we refer to the x axis
x positive --------------> right
x negative--------------> left

when we speak of up or down we refer to the y axis
y positive --------------> up
y negative--------------> down

therefore

the rule is
(x,y)---------> (x+8, y+2)
