To shrink a figure vertically by a factor of 1/2 and perform a horizontal translation to the right by 8 units, divide the y-coordinates by 2 and subtract 8 from the x-coordinates of each point.

To shrink a figure vertically by a factor of 1/2 and perform a horizontal translation to the right by 8 units, you can apply the following transformations:

  1. Divide the y-coordinates of each point by 2 to shrink the figure vertically.
  2. Subtract 8 from the x-coordinates of each point to perform the horizontal translation.

For example, if you have a point (x, y), after applying the transformations, the new point would be ((x - 8), (y/2)).
