Question 18 • Geometry: Concepts and Connections

The function rule cap t sub negative 4 comma 6 times open paren x comma y close paren could be used to describe which translation?

Answer
A
a parallelogram on a coordinate plane that is translated 4 units down and 6 units to the right
B
a rectangle on a coordinate plane that is translated 4 units to the right and 6 units up
C
a trapezoid on a coordinate plane that is translated 4 units to the left and 6 units up
D
a rhombus on a coordinate plane that is translated 4 units down and 6 units to the left

Explanation

A translation rule T₍₋₄,₆₎ moves every point by the vector (−4, 6). The negative 4 shifts the figure 4 units left, and the positive 6 shifts it 6 units up. Therefore, it describes a trapezoid translated 4 units left and 6 units up.
