Since the specific conclusion is based on a general premise, this is a case of deductive reasoning.

<h3>What is deductive reasoning?</h3>

The term deductive reasoning has to do with the process of arriving at a specific conclusion based on a more general premise.

In this case, the conclusion arrived at was based on the fact that Mia saw a general sign that read that 3 grapefruit cost $2.50. Hence, this is a case of deductive reasoning.

How do you graph and translate a shape

jeka94

See in the explanation

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Translating a shape is part of that we called Rigid Transformations. This is called like this because the basic form of the shape doesn't change. So this only changes the position of the chape in the coordinate plane. In mathematics, we have the following rigid transformations:

Horizontal shifts
Vertical shifts
Reflections

Horizontal and vertical shifts are part of translation. So the question is <em>How do we graph and translate a shape?</em>

To do so, you would need:

A coordinate plane.
An original shape
Set the original shape in the coordinate plane.
A rule
The translated shape

For example, the triangle below ABC is translated to form the triangle DEF. Here, we have a coordinate plana and an original shape, which is ΔABC. So this original shape has three vertices with coordinates:

A(-4,0)

B(-2, 0)

C(-2, 4)

The rule is <em>to translate the triangle 6 units to the right and 1 unit upward. </em>So we get the translated shape ΔDEF with vertices:

D(2,1)

E(4, 1)

F(4, 5)
