Question

Describe in words the translation represented by
the translation rule (x, y) → (x+4,y + 1).
a. 1 units to the right and 4 units up b. 4 units to
the right and 1 units up c. 4 units to the left and 1
units down d. 4 units to the left and 1 units up

Answer 1

The translation rule \((x, y) \to (x + 4, y + 1)\) means that for any point \((x, y)\), the new point is found by adding 4 to the x-coordinate and adding 1 to the y-coordinate.

This translation can be described as follows:

- **4 units to the right**: The x-coordinate increases by 4.
- **1 unit up**: The y-coordinate increases by 1.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

**b. 4 units to the right and 1 unit up.**
