Translations

Question 6 • (A. Costello)WCA 5324 Geometry 1st Nine Weeks 26-27

The rule as a mapping for the translation of a rectangle is (x, y) → (x – 2, y + 7). Which describes this translation?

Answer
A
a translation of 2 units down and 7 units to the right
B
a translation of 2 units down and 7 units to the left
C
a translation of 2 units to the right and 7 units up
D
a translation of 2 units to the left and 7 units up

Explanation

The x-coordinate changes from x to x − 2, so every point moves 2 units to the left. The y-coordinate changes from y to y + 7, so every point moves 7 units up; this is a translation 2 units left and 7 units up.
