Question 3 • Mathematics I

A rectangle on a coordinate plane is translated 5 units up and 3 units to the left. Which rule describes the translation?

Answer
A
open paren x comma y close paren rightarrow open paren x minus 3 comma y plus 5 close paren
B
open paren x comma y close paren rightarrow open paren x plus 5 comma y minus 3 close paren
C
open paren x comma y close paren rightarrow open paren x plus 5 comma y plus 3 close paren
D
open paren x comma y close paren rightarrow open paren x plus 3 comma y plus 5 close paren

Explanation

Moving 3 units to the left decreases the x-coordinate by 3, and moving 5 units up increases the y-coordinate by 5. So the translation rule is (x, y) → (x − 3, y + 5), which is choice A.
