Question

Line segment AB has a length of 2 units. It is translated 6 units to the right on a coordinate plane to obtain line segment A’B’. What is the length of A’B’?

a) 2 units
b) 4 units
c) 6 units
d) 8 units

Answer 1

When a line segment is translated on a coordinate plane, its length and orientation remain the same. Line segment AB has a length of 2 units and is translated 6 units to the right to obtain line segment A'B', which also has a length of 2 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a line segment is translated on a coordinate plane, it means that it is moved horizontally or vertically without changing its length or orientation. In this case, line segment AB is translated 6 units to the right. Since the length of AB is 2 units, the length of A'B' will also be 2 units. Therefore, the correct answer is (a) 2 units.
