what is the correct description for the translation of A to A?

A(10,3)->A(1,6)
a) right 9; up 3
b) left 9; down 3
c) right 9; down 3
d) left 9; up 3

Is it C

10 ---> 1 , looks like it went left 9

3 ---> 6 , looks like it went up 3

No, the correct description for the translation of A to A(10,3) to A(1,6) is option D) left 9; up 3.

To determine the correct description for the translation of A to A(10,3) to A(1,6), you need to understand the specific movements involved in the translation.

Translation involves moving an object from one location to another without changing its orientation or shape. To describe the translation, you can determine the horizontal (left/right) and vertical (up/down) distances covered.

In this case, A has moved from (10,3) to (1,6). To find the horizontal distance, subtract the x-coordinates of the two points: (10 - 1 = 9). The result indicates a leftward movement of 9 units. For the vertical distance, subtract the y-coordinates: (6 - 3 = 3). The result shows an upward movement of 3 units.

Therefore, the correct description for the translation from A(10,3) to A(1,6) would be:
b) left 9; up 3.

Note: option C is not correct because it suggests a rightward (instead of a leftward) movement.
