Question

hexagon defghi is translated 8 units down and 3 units to the right. if the coordinates of the pre - image of point f are (-9, 2), what are the coordinates of f? (-17, 5) (-6, -6) (-17, -1) (-12, -6)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate new x - coordinate

For a translation 3 units to the right, add 3 to the x - coordinate of the pre - image. The pre - image x - coordinate of point F is - 9. So, the new x - coordinate is $-9 + 3=-6$.

Step2: Calculate new y - coordinate

For a translation 8 units down, subtract 8 from the y - coordinate of the pre - image. The pre - image y - coordinate of point F is 2. So, the new y - coordinate is $2-8 = - 6$.

Answer:

B. $(-6,-6)$
