WILL MARK BRAINLIEST <br> what type of transformation is described by (x,y) —&gt; (x+2, y+16)?
frosja888 [35]

This transformation takes a vector (x,y) and maps it to the vector (x+2, y+16). In other words, it moves the X coordinate of the vector 2 units to the right, and the Y coordinate of the vector is moved 16 units upwards.

If you would take a set of points and apply this transformation, you would see the entire set moving upwards and to the right, with no stretching ou rotating. This type of transformation is called a translation transformation.
