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

Answer:

(x + 4, y - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We’re graphing the coordinate points of a triangle. Since we’re translating 4 units to the right we’re going off the x axis. So, it would be positive (x + 4). Then, you’re translating 3 units down which would be negative because you’re moving into the negative part of the graph, and you’re going down the y axis. (x - 3).

Hopefully that explains well enough I tried but have a good day!!!

Answer 2

The third option, or (x, y) ---> (x + 4, y - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

When moving right on the horizontal axis, you always add so since we are moving 4 units to the right, that would be x + 4, and when moving down on the vertical axis, we always subtract, so since we are moving 3 units down, that would be y - 3
