Question

Triangle ABC will be translated 3 units right and 6 units up. Write a coordinate rule to describe the translation.

A. (x, y) -> (x + 3, y + 6)
B. (x, y) -> (x - 3, y + 6)
C. (x, y) -> (x + 6, y - 3)
D. (x, y) -> (x - 6, y - 3)

Answer 1

The coordinate rule to describe the translation of Triangle ABC is (x, y) -> (x + 3, y + 6).

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct coordinate rule to describe the translation of Triangle ABC is (x, y) -> (x + 3, y + 6).

This means that the x-coordinate of each point in the triangle is increased by 3 units, and the y-coordinate is increased by 6 units. For example, if point A was originally at (2, 4), its new coordinates after the translation would be (5, 10).
