Question

On a coordinate plane, point B(–6, 1) is translated to B prime(–3, –2). Indira uses these steps to find a rule to describe the translation.

Answer 1

B) Indira should have written the equations Negative 6 + a = negative 3 and 1 + b = negative 2 in Step 2.

I just took the quiz on edge

Answer 2

Answer:

The rule of the translation is   (x,y) -----> (x+3,y-3)

The translation is 3 units at right and 3 units down

Step-by-step explanation:

we have that

The translation of point B to point B' is

B(-6,1) -----> B'(-3,-2)

so

(x,y) -----> (x+a,y+b)

B(-6,1) ----> (-6+a,1+b)

Find the value of a

$-6+a=-3$

solve for a

$a=-3+6\\a=3$

Find the value of b

$1+b=-2$

solve for b

$b=-2-1\\b=-3$

therefore

The rule of the translation is

(x,y) -----> (x+3,y-3)

That means ----> The translation is 3 units at right and 3 units down
