Question

A triangle is drawn on the coordinate plane. It is translated 4 units right and 3 units down. Which rule describes the

translation?
(x, y) - (x + 3, y - 4)
(x, y) - (x +3, y + 4)
(x, y) - (x + 4, y-3)
(x, y) - (x + 4, y + 3)

Answer 1

`(x,y) - (x + 4, y-3)`

Explanation:

Given:

A triangle is drawn on the coordinate plane. It is translated 4 units right and 3 units down.

It is translated 4 units right and 3 units down.

We need to find the rule of translation.

Solution:

Now to the right of the axis which is positive of X axis and 4 units to the right means 4 units are added to X co-ordinate.

Also to the Down of the axis which is negative of Y axis and 3 units to the down means 3 units are Subtracted to Y co-ordinate.

Hence The co-ordinates at which triangle is drawn is
`(x + 4, y-3)`
