To determine the transformation from Figure 1 to Figure 2, you need to identify how the points on the figures have shifted.
1. Translation 2 units to the right and 3 units down: This means every point moves right by 2 units and down by 3 units.
2. Translation 3 units to the left and 2 units up: This means every point moves left by 3 units and up by 2 units.
3. Translation 5 units to the right and 3 units down: This moves every point right by 5 units and downward by 3 units.
4. Translation 5 units to the left and 3 units up: This moves every point left by 5 units and upward by 3 units.
To find the correct transformation, measure the shift of specific points (like vertices) in the figures. Compare the movements of the x and y coordinates to those described in the options to find which one matches.
If you verify the specific shifts of points in the figures and find that they match one of these descriptions, you will have your answer! Make sure to check the exact shift amounts in both the x (horizontal) and y (vertical) directions. Good luck!
