Is that jms??


7 left and 1 up from its original location

Step-by-step explanation: The notation (x, y) ⇒ (x-7, y+1) means that each x- coordinate has 7 subtracted from it. The x- coordinate of point B, for example, is O. Subtracting 7 makes it be -7.

The notation also means that each y-coordinate has 1 added to it. The y-coordinate of point B is -3. Adding 1 to it makes it -2. So, the image of point B will be (-7, -2), 7 units left and 1 unit up from the location of B.

The translated figure will be entirely within the 3rd

quadrant of the graph.

Comment on the answer shown

The green image is 6 units up and 1 unit right of the original. It looks like that may be an attempt at plotting the location of the image. Both the directions and the amounts are incorrect. The desired image is 7 units left and 1 unit up.
