Question

Triangle ABC was translated 2 units to the right and 3 units down. Which rule describes the translation that was applied to triangle ABC to create triangle A′B′C′?
A) (x, y) → (x – 3, y + 2)
B) (x, y) → (x + 2, y – 3)
C) (x, y) → (2x, –3y)
D) (x, y) → (–3x, 2y)

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is B. When something is being translated right, it will be represented with an addition sign, while if it's being translated left, it will be represented with an subtraction sign. The same thing applies when it is translated up and down. Up is represented with an addition sign, while down is represented with a subtraction sign.

Step-by-step explanation:

An example of this can be a point being translated 3 units to the left and 3 units upwards. The translation would look like this:

(x-3, y-3) :)
