Translations

Question 9 • PARTA - EOP: PGCPS GEOMETRY OC (FALL2026) - 793413

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

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

Explanation

Moving a point 3 units left subtracts 3 from its x-coordinate, and moving it 5 units up adds 5 to its y-coordinate. So the translation rule is (x, y) → (x – 3, y + 5), which is choice C.
