Question

1. determine below the translations that would map figure r onto figure s.

a translation (left / right ) __ units and ( up / down ) __ units.
4.) translate the triangle 5 units left & 4 units up. label the image def.

Explanation:

Step1: Select a reference point

Choose a vertex of Figure R, say the bottom - left vertex of Figure R which is at approximately (1, - 8). The corresponding vertex of Figure S is at approximately (-3, 1).

Step2: Calculate the horizontal translation

To find the horizontal (left/right) translation, subtract the x - coordinates. $x_{S}-x_{R}=-3 - 1=-4$. A negative value means a left - ward translation of 4 units.

Step3: Calculate the vertical translation

To find the vertical (up/down) translation, subtract the y - coordinates. $y_{S}-y_{R}=1-(-8)=9$. A positive value means an upward translation of 9 units.

Answer:

A translation (left) 4 units and (up) 9 units.
