The point A(–1, 4) is translated five units right and three units down. Which rule describes the translation?(x,y) --> (x+5,y+3)(x,y) --> (x+5,y-3)(x,y) --> (x+3,y+5)(x,y) --> (x-3,y+5)
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer: SECOND OPTION.Step-by-step explanation: Given the following point identified as "A": [tex]A(-1,4)[/tex] You can identify that the x-coordinate of the point is: [tex]x=-1[/tex] And its y-coordinate is: [tex]y=4[/tex] According to the exercise, this point is translated five units right and three units down. This means that, in order to find the new coordinates, you need to add 5 to the original x-coordinate and subtract 3 from the original y-coordinate. Therefore, you can conclude that the rule that best describe the translation of the point [tex]A(-1,4)[/tex] is the following: [tex](x,y)[/tex] → [tex](x+5,y-3)[/tex] Then, the point translated is: [tex]A'(-1+5,\ 4-3)[/tex] → [tex]A'(4,1)[/tex]
