What is the correct description for the translation of A to A?
(10,3)-> (1,6)
right 9; up 3
left 9; down 3
right 9, down 3
left 9; up 3
I think the answer is right 9;up 3
left 9, up 3
Thanks so much lost and bobpursley :)
To determine the correct description for the translation of point A to point A, we can observe the change in the x-coordinate and the change in the y-coordinate.
Given the translation (10, 3) -> (1, 6), we can calculate the change in x and y values by subtracting the initial coordinates from the final coordinates:
Change in x = final x-coordinate - initial x-coordinate
= 1 - 10
= -9
Change in y = final y-coordinate - initial y-coordinate
= 6 - 3
= 3
Now, let's interpret these changes in terms of movement:
- A rightward movement corresponds to a positive change in x.
- A leftward movement corresponds to a negative change in x.
- An upward movement corresponds to a positive change in y.
- A downward movement corresponds to a negative change in y.
Therefore, in this case, the correct description for the translation of A to A would be "left 9; up 3" since the x-coordinate moved leftward by 9 units and the y-coordinate moved upward by 3 units.
