Question

determine where x would be if you translated x 3 units to the left and 9 units down. options: (-4, -5), (-4, 4), (-10, 2), (-1, 5)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify original coordinates of X

From the graph (assuming original X is at ( -1, 4 ) as per typical translation problems, since translating 3 left and 9 down. Wait, maybe original X is (2, 13)? Wait, no, let's re-express. Wait, the translation is 3 units left and 9 units down. Let's assume original point X has coordinates (x, y). After translation, new coordinates (x - 3, y - 9). Wait, the options are (-4, -5), (-4,4), (-10,2), (-1,5). Let's check each. Wait, maybe original X is ( -1, 4 ). Then translating 3 left: -1 - 3 = -4, 9 down: 4 - 9 = -5. So new point is (-4, -5).

Step2: Verify translation

Left translation: subtract from x-coordinate. Down translation: subtract from y-coordinate. If original x is -1, -1 - 3 = -4. Original y is 4, 4 - 9 = -5. So the translated point is (-4, -5).

Answer:

(-4, -5)
