When a line changes position from one point to another, the movement is referred to as transition.

Bobby does not have enough information to make a valid conclusion.

The movements of the lines are given as:

Line 1: 3 units up and 8 units right

Line 2: 8 units down and 3 units right

The given information only describes the movement of both lines, but does not give details about the initial relationship between the lines.

Hence, no valid conclusion can be made with the given information.
