To determine which transformation describes the change from Figure 1 to Figure 2, you need to compare the positions of corresponding points in both figures.
1. Identify a point in Figure 1 (let’s say point A) and note its coordinates (e.g., (x1, y1)).
2. Locate the same point in Figure 2 and note its new coordinates (e.g., (x2, y2)).
3. Calculate the difference in x-coordinates (x2 – x1) and y-coordinates (y2 – y1) to see how far the point has moved.
Based on the description of movements:
– A positive x difference indicates a translation to the right, and a negative x difference indicates a translation to the left.
– A positive y difference indicates a translation upwards, and a negative y difference indicates a translation downwards.
Once you calculate the translations, match it with the options given.
If you find that the changes are 5 units to the right and 3 units up, for example, then the correct answer would be “translation 5 units to the right and 3 units up.”
