Given:
Translation of x represented by the translation rule <-6,8>.
To find:
The correct statement for the given rule of translation.
Solution:
Rule of translation is <-6,8>.
Here, x-coordinate represents horizontal shift and y-coordinate represents vertical shift.
x-coordinate is -6, which is negative. So, the figure translated 6 units left.
y-coordinate is 8, which is positive. So, the figure translated 8 units up.
Thus, translation in words is defined as "6 units to the left and 8 units up".
Therefore, the correct option is B.
