Answer:

The submarine moves 4 units right and 6 units down to get to its current position

Explanation:

Given

$(x,y) \to (x + 4, y - 6)$

Required

Describe the movement of the submarine from the initial to the current position

The rule of translation is as follows:

$x \to x + a$ --- This implies right translation by a units

$y \to y -b$ --- This implies down translation by b units

So, we have:

$x \to x + a$

$x \to x + 4$

By comparison;

a =4

$y \to y -b$

$y \to y - 6$

By comparison:

b = 6

Hence, the submarine moves 4 units right and 6 units down to get to its current position
