Question

Writing a Translation Rule
On a coordinate plane, triangle A B C is shifted 4 units up and 3 units to the left to form triangle A prime B prime C prime.

Use the figure to identify the correct rule for the translation.
(x, y) Right-arrow (x – 3, y + 4)
(x, y) Right-arrow (x + 3, y – 4)
(x, y) Right-arrow (x – 4, y + 3)
(x, y) Right-arrow (x + 4, y – 3)

Answer 1

(x, y) → (x − 3, y + 4)

Left 3 subtracts 3 from x; up 4 adds 4 to y.
