B

11 left, 11 up

C

9 right, 11 up

D

11 left, 9 down plzzz answer..

Answer 1

11 up , 11 left

Explanation:

Given

`(17, -9)` to
`(6,2)`

Required

Determine the translation rule

Considering the x coordinates.

From 17 to 6

6 is to the left of 17.

Using the translation rule:

`x = x' + b`

`17 = 6 + b`

`17 - 6 = b`

`11 = b`

`b = 11`

Hence: From 17 to 6 is 11 units left translation

Considering the y coordinates.

From -9 to 2

2 is at the top -9.

Using the translation rule:

`y = y' + b`

`-9 = 2 + b`

`-9 - 2 = b`

`-11= b`

`b = -11`

The negative value impies a upward translation.

Hence: From -9 to 2 is 11 units up translation
