Question

What rule describes the translation that was applied to triangle JKM to create triangle J’K’M’, Initial directions with the pic below.

Answer 1

Given a point (x, y), let's evaluate the transformations:

- Translation 6 units to the right.

Means moving the point 6 units in the horizontal direction; to the right.

The new point will be (x + 6, y).

- Translation 2 units down.

Means moving the point 2 units down; in the vertical direction.

The new point will be (x + 6, y - 2).

Answer: (x + 6, y - 2).
