Question 10 • PARTA - EOP: PGCPS GEOMETRY OC (FALL2026) - 793413

A triangle on a coordinate plane is translated according to the rule T–3, 5(x, y). Which is another way to write this rule?

Answer
A
(x, y) → (x – 3, y + 5)
B
(x, y) → (x – 3, y – 5)
C
(x, y) → (x + 3, y – 5)
D
(x, y) → (x + 3, y + 5)

Explanation

A translation written as T_{-3, 5} moves each point 3 units left and 5 units up. Moving left subtracts 3 from the x-coordinate, and moving up adds 5 to the y-coordinate, so the rule is (x, y) → (x − 3, y + 5). This is choice A.
