Question

Michael says he can move ABCDE onto A'B'C'D'E' with one transformation by translating ABCDE diagonally so that it moves 7 units up and 10 units right. Is he correct? Explain why or why not.

a) Yes, he is correct because the translation vector matches the required transformation.
b) No, he is not correct because the translation vector is not diagonal.
c) Yes, he is correct because the direction of the translation doesn't matter.
d) No, he is not correct because he didn't provide enough information.

Answer 1

No, Michael is not correct because the translation vector he provided does not match the required transformation.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, Michael is not correct because the translation vector he provided does not match the required transformation. To determine if two figures can be transformed onto each other using a translation, the translation vector must be the same for all corresponding points. In this case, the translation vector should be diagonal, but Michael's vector is 7 units up and 10 units right, which is not diagonal.
