Question

in a translation, subtracting from the y - value will result in a horizontal movement to the choose your answer... previous

Explanation:

In a coordinate - plane, the y - axis represents the vertical direction. Subtracting from the y - value of a point moves it downwards in the vertical direction, not horizontally. The statement in the question is incorrect as subtracting from the y - value does not result in a horizontal movement. But if we assume the question is about the correct vertical movement, when we subtract from the y - value of a point \((x,y)\) to get \((x,y - k)\) (where \(k>0\)), the point moves down.

Answer:

down
