<h3>Answer: <u>11</u> units to the <u>right</u> and <u>3</u> units <u>down</u></h3>
====================================================
Explanation:
Plot the two points on the same xy grid (refer to the diagram below). Once this is done, the answer probably will become apparent. We should move point B 11 units to the right so that we move directly over top point B'. Count out the spaces to see why this is the case, or you can subtract the x coordinates and apply absolute value
|x1-x2| = |-5 - 6| = 11
Then we need to move 3 units down to finally arrive at point B'
---------------------------
A non-visual or non-graph approach could look like this:
B is at (-5,-2) while B' is at (6,-5)
Focus on the x coordinates for now. Like before, we subtract the x coordinates and apply absolute value to get |x1-x2| = |-5 - 6| = 11. This is the "11 units to the right" motion.
Do the same for the y coordinates to get |y1-y2| = |-2-(-5)| = 3. We move down because the y coordinate of B' is further away from 0 compared to the y coordinate of B.
In short, we apply the translation rule to describe the motion of right 11, down 3.
