Question

. Which of the following is the correct algebraic representation of the translation below?

a. (x – 6, y – 5)
b. (x – 5, y – 6)
c. (x + 5, y + 6)
d. (x + 6, y + 5)

Answer 1

D) (x+6, y+5)

Explanation:

You can start with the top corner of triangle A

Then count up 5 units and right 6 units

Because you count vertically 5 units that means you're using the y-axis, And because you're counting up, than means the values are positive.

And because you count horizontally 6 units you're using the x-axis, And you are counting to the right so the values are positive.

Down vertically=Negative Y-axis Values. Up vertically=Positive Y-axis Values

Right horizontally=Positive X-axis values. Left horizontally=Negative X-axis Values
