Question

If point A(-4, 1) is translated to point A'(4, 5), what is the rule that describes the transformation?

(A) (x+4, y+8)
(B) (x+4, y+4)
(C) (x-8, y-4)
(D) (x+8, y+4)

Answer 1

The translation of point A(-4, 1) to point A'(4, 5) can be described by the rule (x + 8, y + 4), which corresponds to option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The translation of point A(-4, 1) to point A'(4, 5) can be described by the rule (x + 8, y + 4), which corresponds to option D. To perform the translation, we add 8 to the x-coordinate and 4 to the y-coordinate of point A. This shift moves point A to its new position at A'(4, 5).
