Answer 1

A)

Explanation:

just look at the picture.

what must have happened to figure A to turn into figure B ?

is B more to the right or to the left of A ?

well, right. isn't it obvious ?

and when you look at the coordinates of a vertex, it is 3 units to the right of A.

and if the shift to the right had not happened - the 2 figures would be a mirrored image of each other with the x-axis being the mirror.

that is why A) is the right answer.
