Question

"Stan translated a quadrilateral three units up and two units to the left. What rule describes the translation?

A. Translation: (x, y) → (x - 2, y + 3)
B. Translation: (x, y) → (x + 2, y - 3)
C. Translation: (x, y) → (x + 3, y - 2)
D. Translation: (x, y) → (x - 3, y + 2)"

Answer 1

The translation rule for moving a point three units up and two units to the left is A. Translation: (x, y) → (x - 2, y + 3).

Step-by-step explanation:

When Stan translated a quadrilateral three units up and two units to the left, he applied a translation to each point of the quadrilateral. In coordinate terms, translating a point three units up increases the y-coordinate by 3, and translating two units to the left decreases the x-coordinate by 2. Therefore, the correct rule that describes this translation is A. Translation: (x, y) → (x - 2, y + 3).
