Question

Describe the translation:A) 4 units right and 6 units downB) 4 units left and 6 units upC) 6 units left and 4 units upD) 6 units right and 4 units down

Answer 1

To describe the transfer we will review what the points of the blue and red triangle are.

Blue triangle

I = (-2, 8)

I' = (4, 4)

First, we will determine the x-axis translation

`\begin{gathered} \Delta x=x2-x1 \\ \Delta x=4-(-2) \\ \Delta x=6 \end{gathered}`

6 units right

Now let's calculate the y-axis transfer

`\begin{gathered} \Delta y=y2-y1 \\ \Delta y=4-8 \\ \Delta y=-4 \end{gathered}`

4 units down

The answer would be 6 units right and 4 units down​
