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
