Question

A triangle is drawn on the coordinate plane. It is translated 4 units right and 3 units down. Which rule describes the translation?
(x, y) → (x + 3, y – 4)
(x, y) → (x + 3, y + 4)
(x, y) → (x + 4, y – 3)
(x, y) → (x + 4, y + 3)

Answer 1

Answer:

c ) (x, y) → (x + 4, y - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The translated triangle is moved 4 units to the right, which is a movement along the x-axis. Moving right on the x-axis, the values become more positive, therefore, 4 units should be added to the x-coordinate.

The triangle is also moved down by 3 units, which is a movement along the y-axis. Downward movement on this axis, results in more negative values, meaning that 3 should be subtracted.

Answer 2

Translation is 4 units towards the right, it will be x + 4
and because it is 3 units down, it will be y - 3

(x,y) → (x + 4, y - 3)
