Question

The rule as a mapping for the translation of a rectangle is (x, y) = (x - 2, y + 7). Which describes this translation?

O a translation of 2 units down and 7 units to the right
O a translation


of 2 units down and 7 units to the left
O a translation of 2 units to the right and 7 units up
O a translation of 2 units to the left and 7 units up
Mark this and retum

Answer 1

a translation of 2 units to the left and 7 units up

Explanation:

Translation of points (x,y)

At point x, the function can be translated to the left or to the right.

(x-a) is the translation of the point a units to the left, and (x+a) is the translation of the point a units to the right.

At point x, the function can be translated up or down. y+a represents a shift of a units up, and y-a represents a shift of a units down.

(x, y) = (x - 2, y + 7)

x - 2: 2 units to the left.

y + 7: 7 units up

So the fouth option is correct.
