Question

Which translation rule describes the translation that is 14 units to the left and 20 units down?

(x, y)--->(x + 14, y – 20)
(x, y)--->(x – 14, y – 20)
(x, y)--->(x – 14, y + 20)
(x, y)--->(x + 14, y + 20)

Answer 1

(x, y ) → (x - 14, y - 20 )

Explanation:

A translation of 14 units to the left means subtract 14 from the original x- coordinate.

A translation of 20 units down means subtract 20 from the original y- coordinate.

The translation rule is

(x, y ) → (x - 14, y - 20 )
