A city planner wants to construct a new road south of Town Hall and north of the Community Center. The city planner currently has the road plotted as a set of parallel lines as shown on the map. However, the current plan for the road would cover a historical marker. Which transformation should the city planner apply to this road so that it preserves the historical marker and still passes south of Town Hall and north of the Community Center?

Answer 1

The transformation that the city planner should apply to this road so that it preserves the historical marker and still passes south of Town Hall and north of the Community Center is to "translate the road up 2 units." This means that the entire road should be shifted 2 units upwards while remaining parallel to the original position. This will preserve the historical marker and at the same time, it will still pass south of Town Hall and north of the Community Center.
