Question

DESCRIBE IN WORDS THE TRANSLATION OF x represented by the translation rule <-6,8> (X) A. 6 units to the right and 8 units down B. 6 units to the left and 8 units up C. 8 units to the left and 6 units down D. 6 units to the right and 8 units up

Answer 1

Given:

Translation of x represented by the translation rule <-6,8>.

To find:

The correct statement for the given rule of translation.

Solution:

Rule of translation is <-6,8>.

Here, x-coordinate represents horizontal shift and y-coordinate represents vertical shift.

x-coordinate is -6, which is negative. So, the figure translated 6 units left.

y-coordinate is 8, which is positive. So, the figure translated 8 units up.

Thus, translation in words is defined as "6 units to the left and 8 units up".

Therefore, the correct option is B.
