Question

a point is translated on the coordinate plane from (2, -5) to (2, -6). create a function to show this translation. which function shows the appropriate translation? (1 point)

○ f(x)=x - 1

○ g(y)=y + 1

○ g(y)=y

○ g(y)=y - 1

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the change in coordinates

The x - coordinate remains the same (both 2), and the y - coordinate changes from - 5 to - 6.

Step2: Determine the translation rule for y

The change in the y - coordinate is $\Delta y=-6-( - 5)=-1$. This means the y - value is decreased by 1.

Answer:

D. $g(y)=y - 1$
