Question

Which translation rule describes the translation that is 2 units to the left and 8 units down?

(x, y) + (x + 2, y - 8)

(x,y) → (x - 2, y - 8)

(x,y) → (x - 2, y + 8)

(x,y) → (x + 2, y + 8)

Answer 1

Answer: (x,y) → (x - 2, y - 8)

Explanation:

Two units to the left would mean decreasing value on the x-axis, making it -2.

Eight units down would, again, mean decreasing value on the y-axis, making it -8.

Therefore, (x,y) → (x - 2, y - 8) is the correct translation rule.

I hope this helps :)

I get it, Geometry can be pretty difficult sometimes... I'm in it right now lol
