Question

Write a rule to describe the translation of a point from (–3, 3) to (–2, 2).

a) (x,y) --> (x - 1 , y + 1)

b) (x,y) --> (x + 1 , y + 1)

c) (x,y) --> (x - 1 , y -1)

d) (x,y) --> (x + 1 , y - 1)

Answer 1

d) (x,y) --> (x+1, y-1)

would be the answer because the x increases from -3 to -2 by 1 unit and the y decreases from 3 to 2 by 1 unit.
