Question

The vertices of the image of GHJK after a translation are given. Choose the vector that describes the translation.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take a vertex G of quadrilateral GHJK to understand the rule for the translation,

From the graph attached,

Coordinates of G → (-5, 5)

Coordinates of the image point G' after the translation → G'(-5, 5)

Let the point G is translated 'a' units to the right and 'b' units down,

Rule for this translation,

G(x, y) → G'(x + a, y - a)

By this rule,

G(-5, 5) → G'(-5 + a, 5 - a)

-5 + a = -5 ⇒ a = 0

5 - a = 5 ⇒ a = 0

Therefore, vector that defines the translation will be,

<0, 0>

Option B is the the correct option.
