Question

Which rule represents the translation of hexagon DEFGHI to hexagon D'E'F'G'H'I'?

(x, y)→(x - 8, y - 7)

(x, y)→(x - 7, x - 8)

(x, y)→(x - 4, x - 5)

(x, y)→(x - 5, y - 4)

Answer 1

Correct answer is A.

Each vertex of the hexagon is translated 8 units left and 7 units down. So, the x-coordinate is 8 units smaller (x - 8), and the y-coordinate is 7 units smaller (y - 7).

Therefore (x, y) → (x - 8, y -7)
